[R-390] Another 390A Carrier meter question

[DJED1 at aol.com]

I think your friend has an incorrect version of Chuck Rippel's procedure  for 
setting the IF gain.  I believe what it does is to set the gain lower  in 
order to improve the sensitivity by reducing the IF noise contribution.   The 
procedure is described on the R-390 FAQ page in the "pearls of  wisdom".  I don't 
know how the meter calibration winds up after doing  Chuck's thing, but I'd 
be interested if you try the procedure out and then check  the meter 
calibration.
