Are you confusing "sensitivity" with "overall gain"? Typically the higher frequency bands are much, much quieter than the lower frequency bands but a 0.1 uV signal will produce the same volume from the speaker on 10 (or 6) meters as it will on 80 meters (if you can hear it in the band noise :-)
It's normal to turn up the gain (or engage the Preamp) on the higher frequency bands to provide some additional overall gain and, perhaps, improve the receiver noise figure so it's actually a little more sensitive (able to hear weaker signals without their being covered by internal receiver noise) than on the lower bands. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Well could be possible to improve it (if necessary) for the upcoming ARRL10 contest in December? I will want to use my K3 in this contest, but with this comments I will try to compare it in 10 mts with my TS850 I used before Thank, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W ______________________________________________________________ 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
