I never thought of it before but it makes sense that calibrating the RF Gain would re-calibrate the AGC - or more accurately the AGC after calibration would act more in line with reality. If that is true, I am ordering the XG2 this afternoon. Anyone care to comment? Buck k4ia k3#101

I just did an RF gain calibration, using the XG2 and the K3 utility on my kit K3 (built in Sept. '09). There seems to be a dramatic difference in my noise level, 3-4 s units, with a calibrated s-meter. I think I can pull more stuff out of the ditches and weeds now. Does that seem reasonable? 73, Mike NF4L ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
