[Elecraft] re signal level of I F output on K3

    What is the level output of the I F output on the K3? I'm trying to use the Kenwood SM-220 panadaptor with mine but can't get enough output from the I F of the K3. I've got on loan an I F amp @ 8.215 mhz set at 15 db gain  from Jack of Clifton Laboratories to try and cure the problem but even with the amp I need a minimum of 200 microvolts signal input to the antenna jack of the K3 before I can even detect it on the SM-220 panadaptor  I F input even with the  15 db amplifier. Looking at the schematic of the K3, there should be approximately the same level coming out of the 8.215 khz I F as what the received signal is. The manual for the K3 does NOT give any information on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks from Fern   VE7GZ
