Glenn, The manual statement is that CALS HI and CALS LO must be adjusted after changing the AGC Threshold - the converse is not necessarily true - that is not the only time that one should readjust the S meter settings.
One would need to reset CALS LO and CALS HI after any change that results in a gain change on the K2 receive chain prior to the AGC takeoff point - and that is what happened when you added a working receiver and aligned the IF. You may want to optimize the AGC threshold and reset the S-meter after you have everything else correctly aligned. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > Should I recalibrate the meter?
