I never had a reply to my original posting from April, so thought I would fish for advice again.....
What has prompted me to repost is a qso just a few minutes ago with a GW on 20m (I'm in south-west France at the moment) where he gave me 579 (I was running 3W) and I could barely hear him. In the end I lost him completely. Here's the original posting........ I have always felt that on 20m the KX-1 is much quieter in terms of background noise compared with the 3 other bands. Having just bought a XG2 on ebay, I have been comparing receive performance at the 1uV level between 40m and 20m. There's no doubt that the s/n ratio on 40m is better by several dB (not measured, so a subjective observation). I have checked the alignment by adjustment of the trimmers 20a and 20b and found that the tuning was already pretty much on the nose. So the question is, is there anywhere else I should look? I have checked both with and without the built-in ATU and reached the same conclusion. I'd be grateful for any pointers. Tnx and 73 ______________________________________________________________ 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
