I calibrated the KXFL3 (using my XG3) last night and all went well
(quite the involved procedure but instructions are without fault). I
did some listening Monday with the internal speaker and that takes
some adjustment from what I hear using my K3 (10-inch National
speaker from the 1950's). Not a fair comparison. I will probably
either use headphones or ext speaker most of the time. I connected
my computer (H/K) speakers and less harsh sound.
Getting acquainted with the little radio with manual open. Listened
to a net on 14.290 this morning. Haven't tested the radio with
meters, yet. I got to scoot up the tower before it rains again to
fix my TR line for my 222 and 432 antennas.
Interesting way the filters switch. Passband tuning is a bit
different. I had an initial antenna issue which looked like a bad
cable on the BNC but turned out a bad exterior coax. Auto-tuning
looks like it is working.
Next it to pre-program the memories for my favorites (will try
copying my K3 list).
Thanks for making the cutest ham radio! I got lots of folks looking
forward to my Hamfest demo 14July.
Over the 4th I will begin looking at SDR I/F control & wiring.
