[Elecraft] K3 Main and sub S meter readings different.
This is hardly a significant matter but it's been bugging me. Just gotta know! My K3 is an early radio S/N 298. works great receiver has 13k, 2.8k, 1.8k and 400Hz filters . About a year ago I added a KRX3A sub receiver which has just the 2.7k filter. It works fine but the S meter shows significantly different to the main receiver. I have done the receiver gain calibration using the K3 utility for both main and sub receivers and set the main receiver S meter as per the manual in the CONFIG menu. No settings for the sub receiver S meter??? As per the manual after adjusting, pre-amp on, S mtr nor, 50uV = S9 on the main receiver but sub receiver with the pre-amp on shows S9+20dB. Varying the bandwidths and signal levels makes little difference and the variation between main and sub receiver S meter readings remains quite large. How can I correct this to achieve similar values on both receivers? Friends K3 with sub both of similar vintage and both with same filters doesn't show any variation. Is this just down to roofing filters?

[Elecraft] First test of the AX-1
I received my AX-1 yesterday. This morning, I took a 30 min. break at a local park with my KX2, laptop, and the AX-1 with provided counterpoise. Seated at a steel picnic table in a nearby city park, with the AX-1 connected to the radio through a BNC elbow, I caught and made, among others, the following WSPR spots: HEARD: WB3DZC: FM07ux at 3800km KE7A: EM12kx at 2295km HEARD-BY: AI6VN/KH6: BL10rx at 3798km VE3OWV: FN15vk at 3857km ND1C: EL99jl at 3844km It's a keeper! --... ...-- KC6ZKT, CM97bj __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
