[Elecraft] K144XV spurious in receiver

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

You can use the procedure for removing spurs that already exists.

The S meter is calibrated to the front end of the HF receiver.  The
system gain of the K144XV (including its preamp) will be added to the
calibration of the HF receiver.  20 over would seem to be
approximately right.  -70 is 3 db over S9.

73, Guy.
