Manual Suggestion--K160RX

[n7on]

It's time for me to re-read the K2 manual.  I was recently wondering why
my primary and receive antennas sounded so different when switching
between them (K160RX is installed) and feared a 160m module or KNB2
construction problem.  That's when I discovered the preamp and attenuator
settings are separate for the two antennas.  Digging through the Rev. F
K2 manual I  found this on p. 113, "Options," under the K160RX and RX ANT
description:  "The receive antenna can have a separate preamp/attenuator
setting from the normal antenna (per-band)."

That's the only reference to this feature I've seen, if it's in the
K160RX Rev. C manual I missed it.  The separate preamp/attentuator
settings feature would be worth adding to the K160RX manual.

See, the more you operate this rig, the more features you discover!

73,

Do the annunciators not make this obvious? I don't have K160RX, so have
no idea.
