G'day, I have been trying to perform the Sub-RX S-meter calibration and find that following the procedure in the owners manual (D1 p50) doesn't work, at least for me. There is no way I can display the Sub-RX S-meter reading and enter the Config menu options required to calibrate the Sub-RX. The display keeps reverting to the main RX. Confirmed by the display responding the main RX RF gain control.
The radio is loaded with 02.67/01.96/00.02 firmware. 1. Main RX calibrates OK. (XG1) 2. Enabling SUB drops the S-meter reading on the main as expected because of the passive splitter loss. I would assume that calibrating with the Sub-RX sharing the main antenna path the CONFIG: SMTR OF would need to be adjusted to match the S-meter reading of the main RX, not S-9. Using the AUX input for the Sub-RX has its own calibration issues. Don't get the idea that I'm coming on all anal about the S-meter, I would just like the two RX path readings to match +/- not too much.
