The S-meter Cal procedure in the manual worked up until about v.3.15 or so. Now I am pretty sure that it was NOT separately adjusting the SubRx S-meter, but I never checked, so I'm not sure. It doesn't really matter now.
I have determined that, at least on my K3 (#202) running v3.41 et al, after running the RF Gain Calibration procedure and setting the MAIN Rx S-meter, the Sub Rx S-meter is spot on. It actually follows the adjustment for the Main Rx S-meter, i.e., set Main Rx at an extreme and the Sub Rx shows the exact same extreme. So... it looks to me like there is no reason to have a separate adjustment for the SubRx S-meter. I'm sure the manual will catch up. 73, Ken K3IU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ N1JM wrote: > There is an error in the manual according to Wayne and you cannot calibrate > the sub rx S-meter. > > John N1JM > > > > Mike Harris wrote: > >> G'day, >> >> Has anyone managed to use the proceedure in the handbook to >> calibrater the sub-rx s-meter? >> >> The metering is switched over to the sub-rx when in b SET mode. >> However, as soon at you go into CONFIG the s-meter reverts to the >> main rx making callibration impossible.
