[Elecraft] [K3] RX Gain Calibration

[Travis Brown]

Thanks Stan.  I ordered a XG3 yesterday and I hope to have it here this
week.  I wasn't expecting such a huge discrepancy between the KX3 and K3,
and it really surprised me.  If I figure out the secret sauce, I'll
definitely let you know.  I am curious, with did you put the KX3 and K3 on
the XG3 and see a discrepancy in the  S-Meter reading?  If so, how much?

Thanks,
Travis K2NP
