[Elecraft] WG: 160 & 80m

[hawley, charles j jr]

Just checked mine with the SG2  set to 50 uV on 20, 40, 80 M and it's S9 with the preamp 
and S5-6 with the preamp off.

You have no preamp even tho it shows PRE in the display maybe?

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!

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.).
