[Elecraft] KX1 - Normal position of the AF gain control?

[Martin Gillen]

Hi.

I was aligning my receiver yesterday (Phase II).

I noticed that the AF gain seems to be exponential,
which is to say that rotating it from 200 degrees
(fully left rotated) up through 0 degrees (halfway)
produces only a little bit of volume increase.
Rotating from 0 degrees to 90 degrees brings the
volume up to what I would consider a normal level,
then from 90 degrees to fully rotated to the right
causes a very noticeable increase in volume.

So my KX1 will have the volume control 3/4 rotated
(pointing at about 110 degrees) most of the time.

Is that normal, or perhaps my headphones were of the
wrong impedance?
