K2-S-Meter Alignment question

[Gary Marks]

Under S-Meter Alignment:

The forth step says:
Turn RF Gain fully counter-clockwise. Adjust the VFO knob until bargraph segment 9 lights, then turn it a bit more counter-clockwise until segment 10 just turns on (right-most segment).

Question: Should this have said RF Gain instead of VFO knob ?  Turning the VFO does nothing while turning the RF Gain knob performs what the instructions say.

Comments please......

No this is the VFO knob... turning the VFO knob when calibrate the S HI
and S Lo paramater should be use to adjust the bar led display for
proper receivng indication. If turning the VFO knob does nothing, you
should probably have something wrong...

Gary,

You missed one prior step - enter the menu and edit 'CAL S Hi' first, and
then the VFO knob should work as described - you should see a display like
'S HI 018' (the number will change as you rotate the VFO knob).

73,

I should have done as in the first step....after entering the menu again and
selecting CAL S HI, I should have done:
Hold "EDIT" a second time to activate it. That sentence wasn't in the manual
and I'm just learning the procedures with this rig. Everything checked out
OK. On to Assembly, Part II.
THANKS

Gary

Even if you're in "CAL S HI"?

You might need to turn AGC off (hold PRE/ATT and AGC) before you start
CAL S HI and CAL S LO.
