[Elecraft] Re: XG1 Results with K1 s/n 1018

[Clark Macaulay]

Thanks to the replies I've received so far!
   
  Ron, you are correct in that my message was asking to different questions.  The first is whether the MDS I calculated was typical even though the XG1 'manual' indicates I should expect -125db vs. my measured at -120db.  I don't recall whether I set the filter to 500hz, so I'll go back and do it again.  With a smaller bandwidth, the XG1 OFF noise level might be lower enough to get me closer to nominal.
   
  To the others that responded about the audio level, I guess I should have stated that the headphone level is LOUD.  It' the speaker level that I was trying to fix.  I mean, why have a speaker if it can't be heard?  I have an ICOM 703 that fills the room with audio.  It's just nice to use the speaker to tune through the band and if there is a station I want to contact, THEN use headphones. Buying an external speaker to use is another possibility, I suppose.  Jim (K4ZM), your thought about checking Q10 is a good one.  I'll check it out and let everyone know.
