[Elecraft] Problems with K3 KXV3 IF Output Level?

[Fern Rivard]

Good evening Lyle:

    I honestly don't know where you're getting those levels from as I already reported to you back in April/08 that the levels at the I F output were pretty well non existent. There is just no tracking of levels at the I F out with what is fed into the antenna input of the receiver. I even used a 15 db amplifier from Jack Smith of Clifton Laboratories without any luck as there is simply no levels to play with there. I believe that Jack Smith also queried you about that without getting a proper reply as yet from you. I realize that nobody is perfect but why are we dogging a proper reply and/or fix for that?

It will be about the same level as at the antenna, or perhaps less, 
depending on settings of PRE, ATT, etc.
