I am trying to perform only page 5 of the RX sideband null procedure, and and have a question. (My KX3 is a later serial number 9852 and according to the RX sideband null A8.doc, most of this nulling procedure was performed when the KXFL3 was installed by Elecraft, the only part not done(?) is the 2nd part of the RX SHFT=8.0 I.F. Image (16 kHz) Nulling procedure which is on page 5 of the PDF document.)
So, I am trying to work through this (using an XG3 with its freqs set per the instructions to 1810, 3510, 5310, 7010, 10110, 14010, 18110, 21010, 24910, 28010, 50010) and I am at Page 5, Step 7: 7. Optimize RX SHFT=8.0 I.F. image gain and phase settings as follows: a. Set both the signal source and KX3 to the target band (starting with 160 m). Recall that *the VFO should be set 16 kHz higher than the signal source*. Make sure you’re in CW mode. (Note: You can change bands and modes from within the RXSBNUL menu entry.) *You should hear a strong signal,* and see an S-meter reading of between S9 and S9+30 dB. If not, adjust the preamp setting or the RF source level. What strong signal? With the KX3 iin CW mode, set to 16 KHz higher than the signal generator frequency, there is no signal at all heard! If I tune down on 160 meters to the XG3 freq at 1.810 KHz then it is very strong S9. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for any help!
