[Elecraft] KX1 Receiver alignment

2006-07-06 Thread PA3GYU
listening to receive, I am hearing signals, but not nearly as strong as I hear them on any other receiver in the shack on the same antenna. I did NOT notice that. If it still occurs even after you have the alignment straight, I'd say something isn't right. Best, Bart de PA3GYU
