Then it sounds as if your 29 is right on the money as far as carrier to peak ration is concerned but what will the radio do from 1 to 1.5 watts carrier  to peak after you have it detuned so to speak?

 

If it continues to peak at 32 watts then you've gotten away from your 4 to 1 ratio and it should sound awful with or with out the 1 pill section turned on or at least show to be awful on the same scoped you mentioned earlier.

 

A more realistic way of measuring is to measure carrier to peak average power so at a carrier of 1 watt the radio should peak at 2.5 watts average power which is 1 and 1/2 to 1 of the resting carrier which would insure a modulation level of 100% which would not endanger the final output stage of being over driven and assure a nice sounding signal.
