[Elecraft] S-9 calibration with XG1

[Jean-François Ménard]

Mine is set to S9 at 50 microVolt with the preamp off. S9 is normally a 
standard at 50microVolt, so I think preamp should be set to off.... 
When I calibrate S-Hi.... at the moment the S9 led light, that's it !!

I rarely use the preamp... only on 20m and higher frequencies, 15m 
,etc...
