Hi, I have just installed this and run the "Calibrate RF gain" and I am impressed with the improvement. My S-meter was accurate at S3 and S9 but grossly exaggerated beyond S9+10. After calibration it remains accurate at S3 and S9 (needed no further S meter calibration) and now is much better at high signal levels. Unfortunately my modified XG1 (normal XG1 + 40dB) had been left on and run down the battery so I have only been able to test the higher levels by comparing K3 and LP-Pan/PowerSDR readings on strong 40m AM stations, but they are quite close. This also much improves the S-meter when backing off on the RF gain. Very useful improvent and the first one in months that prompted me to upgrade.
