Just ran the RF gain calibration with the new Mac K3 Utility and an XG2. I did it a few times because I would get an ERR DSE error message when calibrating the SUB rx on occasion. I then went back and re-calibrated the S meter. I've noticed three things.
1) The rx seems considerably "quieter." The PRE is needed now where I seldom used it before. 2) Turning RF gain to minimum quiets the rx but the S meter only advances to S-5 3) I calibrated the S meter with PRE on and SMTR MD set to normal as Wayne recommended. When I change the MD setting to ABS, the 50uv signal drops to S-6 and cannot be adjusted up to S-9 with SMTR OF. I would appreciate any help here. I'm tempted to go back redo the RF gain calibration using the factory defaults option. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/RF-gain-calibration-and-S-meter-tp3924416p3924416.html Sent from the [K3] 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
