Thanks, Bill, for the response. My K3 is #4181, so the mod is not necessary. Yes, -18 dB does sound excessive. However, I really can't be sure whether the issue is an XG2 that doesn't output 50uV, or excessive loss in the RX input stages. I don't have the test equipment to determine which is correct, unfortunately.
