[Elecraft] WG: 160 & 80m

[Helmut Mayrhofer]

Hi, had a look on my KX3 (SN 0671)!
As a Signal Source I used the  "XG3 -73dBm (50uV)"
MENU: PREAMP set to 20dB on all Bands.
Measured on 3520Khz  S-Meter Reading "S5" >>>3650Khz " S5" hmmm??
This is similar on all Bands...

73!
Helmut, OE1MHL

Should be very similar on all bands. But if it would be lower if you had
MENU:PREAMP set to 10 dB on a particular band. The default is 20 dB, which
results in S9 = 50 microvolts (approx.).
