Should the SMTR OF setting that is almost 20% off the factory default
be an indication that something is amiss in the receiver gain chain?
No, my K3 is farther than that from the default. I've calibrated the
S meter using the XG-3 and done the RF gain procedure. There is no
issue with
Clark,
It is difficult to say whether you have a receive problem or not from
that information.
Since you have the XG3, use the -107dBm level and measure the MDS of
your K3. You can make the audio output measurements as indicated in the
XG3 manual or better yet, use the dBV indication of the
Last night I was adjusting the sound levels into my sound card from a new
LP-Pan2 and could not get to S9 using my XG3 at -73 dbm unless the preamp is
ON. I also noticed the S meter was reading S7. I checked the S meter
calibration using the procedure in the manual and found I needed to adjust
Thanks for Joe and Don all is okay. I made an assumption that if the IQ
signal wasn't were it should be using a S9 signal, something must be wrong
with the K3. Silly me. After putting SMTR MD back to NOR and using the
Preamp (according to the Manual), the S meter was showing S9 to agree with
4 matches
