[Elecraft] Another question about L34 adjustment IF Amp.

[Gary D Krause]

After reading another post about adjusting L34 for the IF amplifier, I have 
another question.  I've wondered about this since completing my K2.  The 
manual was a bit confusing and from what I can remember, it said to adjust L34 
for the strongest signal and lowest background noise.  It also said that a DMM 
could be used across the speaker output to get a more accurate reading.  Well, 
my question at the time was how can you get the strongest signal and lowest 
background noise with only one adjustment.  So, I figured it would be a 
compromise between the two.  I adjusted L34 but, not exactly to it's highest 
volume or loudest signal.

Now I've learned that it should be adjusted for the loudest signal and that 
includes the background noise.  So, can I now go back and readjust L34 for 
maximum volume and if so what else will I have to align?  I assume that I 
would only have to re-calibrate the bar-graph, is that correct?

Thanks,
