This procedure got an initial nod from Wayne so I am posting it to the list for broader peer review as it were...
kb3ipe dt . ---- The procedure outlined on p65 in the SIG row of the table for adjusting the S-meter calibration does not seem to work well for me, so I have developed and followed this procedure, which is similar but takes into account the apparent effect adjusting H has on L. If you find this procedure to be correct and superior it would probably best fit on p68 between the VFO Lock/Unlock procedure and the Operating Frequency Calibration procedure. 1) Set LEd to InF. 2) For each H setting record the L settings that result in s9 (5 bars) with an Elecraft XG1 Receiver Test Oscillator / S-Meter Calibrator attached and set to 50uV: Example: H L - - 2 50, 51 3 55, 56, 57 4 60, 61, 62, 63 5 65, 66, 67, 68, 69 6 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75 7 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81 3) Then remove all values (indicated in []'s) that show even anything more than all blank (including a flashing 1) with an Elecraft DL1 Wideband 20W Dummy Load connected: Example (cont.): H L - - 2 [50, 51] 3 [55, 56, 57] 4 [60, 61, 62, 63] 5 [65, 66, 67, 68, 69] 6 [70, 71, 72,] 73, 74, 75 7 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, [80, 81] 4) Set for the lowest H value (indicated in ()'s) with L values not all eliminated and then set for that lowest non-eliminated L value (indicated in ()'s): Example (cont.): H L - - [...] (6) [70, 71, 72,] (73), 74, 75 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft You must subscribe to post.
