K3 RF Gain Contol

[Richard Thorpe-2]

I just noticed that when I adjust the RF gain control just passed the 3 o'clock position the apparent volume jumps considerably.  Is this normal?  Is it a function of ACG settings? Thank you.

Have you run the "Calibrate RF GAIN" procedure from the K3 Utility
(Calibration tab)?  It will linearized the response of the RF gain
control. Also note that per the manual, this procedure should be run
*before* you Calibrate the S-Meter, so if you do run the RF Gain
calibration, you may wish to go through the S-Meter calibration steps
(detailed in the K3 User Manual) again as well.
