[Elecraft] XG1 and K2 question

[Don Wilhelm]

Change the first occurrance of "on" in the paragraph below to "off" and 
it will make more sense.

If you choose to calibrate with the preamp on, just add 2 S-units to the 
reading, or if above S-9, add 10 dB when giving reports with the preamp 
off.  Conversely, subtract 2 S-units or 10 dB when operating with the 
preamp on if you calibrated it with the preamp off.

> Hello K2 receiver wizards, what makes more sense when using the XG1 to set the S-meter on a K2, pre-amp on or off? As you well know, pre-amp makes a big difference on 40mtr......I suppose most K2 owners turn pre-amp on from 20mtrs and up, while turning it off 160-40 for better selectivity.
