[Elecraft] K3: Sherwood Receiver Test Data question

[Phil Wheeler]

Wayne,

Is that "automated RX GAIN procedure" the same as 
the one the K3 Utility walks you through? I did 
that yesterday with my XG3 and it was pretty 
slick. No obvious change from the factory settings 
(my K3 is relatively new, about a year old), but 
I'm glad I did it. Motivation was that at some 
point yesterday 20 seemed to have died, and I 
wanted to check out the K3's RX.

I did it only on 20 meters: Is there any reason to 
do it on more than one band?
