Well put, Vic.  The only thing that should be added to Vic's procedure is
that you should keep the power output of the transmitter being tested
down enough so that the signal in the monitir receiver is S9 or less.

I've tested many rigs for klix monitoring in of my many ham receivers and
AGC on/off does not make a bit of difference, as long as you do it as Vic
and I described (which is the *only* proper way).

BTW, of the many rigs I've checked for klix, the K2 with the click mod is
the cleanest of all.  I believe the click mod is now incorporated in all
new K2 kits.
