

Select

MENU:Lvl Cal

, tap the

SELECT

knob, and adjust the knob to place the

signal peak at -73 dBm on the display.

Note: the K3’s RX ANT input has about 1

dB less loss than the ANT connector, so

you may want to set the signal level at -72

dBM when using that input.

Amplitude Calibration for
Transverters

You can calibrate a receiving or transmitting

converter, either the K3’s internal K144XV or an

external device connected to the K3.
If you plan to do the above calibration on an HF

frequency, do that first since that calibration will

affect the transverter calibration.



Set up the P3, the signal generator, the

transverter and the K3 in the manner

described above to obtain a signal in the

center of the right-hand side of the display

and with its peak centered vertically.



Select

MENU:XV Gain

, tap the

SELECT

knob, and adjust the knob to select the

desired transverter band: 1-9. (You can

enter separate calibration values for each

transverter band by repeating this procedure

for each band.)



Tap

the

SELECT

knob again, and adjust

the knob to place the signal peak at the

level corresponding to the output of your

signal generator.
