A DC LO has crept up, I can't take this any further until I fix that
issue.  Not sure if it's the M7231 or a power supply component yet.  I am
about ready to throw this thing out the window :-)   .... if it would fit.

The problem with address 16 may have been related to the failure that
ultimately lead to the DC LO (-0.22 V) value.  It wasn't an issue until
yesterday afternoon.
