I do want to point out that I DID install the KAT3 and KXV3A (updated version for I/F out) after factory install. I just thought that maybe the addition of the I/F could have been the culprit for recalibration (now I have to go back and look at the KXV3A install instructions to see if I this is complete pilot error on my part). I still want to know about setting PRE on when tuning. That still doesn't make too much sense. -aps ______________________________________________________________ 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
