Mark,
Where did you find the utility? I just search the web and the
Elecraft site for the utility, but it never showed up.

>Hi,
>Elecraft have a handy little utility called RxSbNull.exe which does the whole process. All you need is an up to date KX3, an up to date XG3, a Windows computer and the utility. It works like a charm. Turn the radio volume down before you start it though otherwise it’ll annoy the hell out of you.

The procedures are essentially the same, with a minor difference in RIT setting, and the fact that the KXFL3 installation manual calls this out only on 20M rather than on each band individually.

With narrow bandwidth and FL3 switched in, the null is very broad and shallow, and the opposite sideband is reduced only on the order of 10dB (+/-) rather than the very deep nulls (60+ dB) obtainable with FL1/FL2. As a result, the opposite sideband remains clearly audible when tuning across a signal — say CW at 500 Hz bandwidth, etc.

>> If anyone else out there has done either of these procedures, did you get as deep a null with FL3 as with FL1/FL2? I’m trying to determine if this is normal, or if there's an issue in the radio, possibly with my KXFL3 board.
