[Elecraft] PX3 with "other" I/Q Receiver?

[Tom Blahovici]

Hi Yes but can't you calibrate this out using a signal generator and the px3 calibration facility? 
Of course, it appears that the iq correction operates on only a single frequency and does not do frequency based corrections. I could be wrong about this though. 
One way to tell is to put a string signal near the left of the display at - 96khz and see if the image is at the extreme left.
