Just checked mine with the SG2 set to 50 uV on 20, 40, 80 M and it's S9 with the preamp and S5-6 with the preamp off.
You have no preamp even tho it shows PRE in the display maybe?

As a Signal Source I used the "XG3 -73dBm (50uV)" MENU: PREAMP set to 20dB on all Bands. Measured on 3520Khz S-Meter Reading "S5" >>>3650Khz " S5" hmmm?? This is similar on all Bands... 73!

But if it would be lower if you had MENU:PREAMP set to 10 dB on a particular band. The default is 20 dB, which results in S9 = 50 microvolts (approx.). 73, Wayne N6KR On Nov 11, 2012, at 6:12 AM, GW4DVB wrote: > Is it my imagination or is the KX3 a tad insensitive on 160 & 80m? > > Signals that are 59+ on other rigs are barely hitting a S7!! > > Any ideas? > > GW4DVB > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/160-80m-tp7565461.html > Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email > list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
