Hi guys-
Well, this is just a call to other KX-1 operators to ask this question:
When you cycle through the bands, are the noise floor (hiss) levels un-equal?
My general sensitivity and hiss levels go as follow from most noise to least:
40 meters
20 meters
30 meters
80 meters
30 and 80 are obviously lower sensitivity than 20 and 40 in my RX. They are usable, but lower.
This is say with a 25 foot wire attached... not a resonant antenna.
What say?
