Hi all, I attempted to calculate my K2's (S/N 6800) receiver sensitivity using an XG2, but I'm getting numbers way off from what are listed in the XG2 instruction sheet.
Using a Fluke 117 multimeter, I'm measuring S+N = 0.132 Vrms and N = 0.034 Vrms, which I calculate MDS = -119 dBm. I'm probing the external speaker leads (I can't figure out how to get a reading from the headphone or ext speaker jacks). I'm using the set up parameters recommended by the XG2 instruction sheet: AGC Off, RF Gain maxed, Att Off, Preamp On, filter 500 Hz, etc. The K2 appears to be performing normally except for strange CAL S LO/HI behavior. Apparently, there might be a problem with the K2's receive sensitivity which is causing problems with the CAL S LO/HI. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!!
