[Elecraft] K3 RF Gain calibration

[Ian Maude]

Hi all,
I have been playing with the RF gain calibration procedure on my K3.  I have
used my XG1 as a signal source after fitting a new battery :)
What I found had surprised me.  If I turn down the RF gain, I cannot
completely lose a signal.  The RF gain will not move the s-meter about about
s7.  Now obviously the rig is much more quiet but it seems to me that this
is incorrect.  If I use the factory default settings, the RF gain acts in
the way I would have expected.  I am fairly confident that the XG1 is OK.
 That is I see s9 on several rigs for 50uV.
I would appreciate your thoughts :)
