What is the average level, or noise floor, of the K3's I.F. output? I'm more concerned about the level at 6 meters, I don't have the PR6, 6 meter preamp and with no signal, with the internal preamp on, I measure -49dbm.
With a 50.1MHz, one millivolt signal at the RX port, internal preamp on, I measured -43.5dbm at the I.F. out jack. After double checking the measurement, it looks like I'm getting 3.5db of gain in the first I.F. including any gain, or loss, provided by Q10, the I.F. buffer transistor. One millivolt is -47dbm at the antenna and I measured -43.5dbm at the I.F. out jack. ----- Jack WA9FVP Sent from my TRS-80 :-) -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-IF-out-level-tp7579681.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:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
