I have PowerSDR 2.2.3 (W5WC - 2/10/12) RX2 Version installed and 
running.  I'm running a single Mercury card.

I ran the usual RX level cal using my Elecraft XG1 on 7.040MHz with the 
cal level set for -73dBm.  I ran the calibration with RX2 off.

RX1 seems to calibrate normally - I get a nice -73dbM reading when I 
move the signal into the passband.

RX2 seems to be off by a few dB - not enough to make that much 
difference but definitely not reading the same - maybe -77dBm.

Does the calibration routine address both receivers or is there a way to 
calibrate RX2 independently of RX1 - I could not see anything in setup 
but maybe missed it.

Guess I've got used to having accurate S-meters:-)

73, Pete, N3EVL

PS thanks for the effort put in to bringing us the 2 RX capability.
