[Elecraft] K3 RF gain cal

[K4IA at aol.com]

I never thought of it before but it makes sense that calibrating the   RF 
Gain would re-calibrate the AGC - or more accurately the AGC after  
calibration would act more in line with reality.  If that is true, I am  ordering the 
XG2 this afternoon.  
 
Anyone care to comment?

Sorry if this comes across more than once, I'm  having some e-mail issues.

I just did an RF gain calibration, using the  XG2 and the K3 utility on 
my kit K3 (built in Sept. '09).

There seems  to be a dramatic difference in my noise level, 3-4 s units, 
with a  calibrated s-meter. I think I can pull more stuff out of the 
ditches and  weeds now.

Does that seem reasonable?
