The RF Gain procedure does not presume the XG1/2, but is written for any 50uv source available. If the procedure combines those two signal levels, then equipment capable of supplying both 50uv and 1uv is necessary to run the RF Gain calibration at all.
It works very well btw. S meter is now linear from S0 to 60 over after RF gain calibration. It had been cramped above S9 where only 30 dB increase would take it to 60 over on the meter. Now 6 db per click below S9 and 5 db per click above. Nice. I have both an XG1 and an XG2. Going to put a 160m crystal in the XG1. Need portable, stable signal source on 160. 73, Guy.
