Re: [Elecraft] XG2 Calibration Question

Larry, I did the recalibration with the XG-2. Did not notice any change. And if there were any, I am not able to measure that accurate. Anyway, I use the XG2 quite a lot for some experiments with transformers etc and filters. I Use the K3 (measuring dBV) as a level meter. Great combination.

The same experience here as James. In my case the K3 was already pretty accurate. I wouldn't be without the XG2 though, it's good to have a source of known power. 73 Stephen On 18/11/2010 18:57, "James Sarte (K2QI)" wrote: > > I've only used the XG2 to calibrate the K3's S-meter. > > No ac

I've only used the XG2 to calibrate the K3's S-meter. No actual receiver improvements other than a slightly more accurate meter reading. 73, James K2QI On Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 1:37 PM, larmar wrote: > > I was wondering how much of a difference calibrating the K3 using the XG2 > vs > the defaul

I was wondering how much of a difference calibrating the K3 using the XG2 vs the default factory calibration would have on performance? For those who have used the signal generator, did you see any noticable improvement in overall receiver performance? Trying to decide whether the investment wou
