and to suppress the mirror channel ....

6.

Now Go: Setup - Calibration

Can now listen to any radio station, but you have to make calibration frequency to make calibration level
and to suppress the mirror channel
There are two methods of calibration: the first with a signal generator or Ham transceiver tuned to dummy load or remote antenna with low power and the second local broadcast stations
With the first method, all three settings can be an example 14.065000 frequency Hz or other frequency.
The second method is to comply with local transmitter accurate frequency and level!

Freq Cal : frequency calibration can be performed by tuning to a known Frequency Standard like WWV/WWVH on 5, 10 or 15MHz.

Level Cal: frequency calibration can be performed by tuning to a known Frequency Standard like WWV/WWVH on 5, 10 or 15MHz or in concert radio station

with a high-level . Level (dBm) : -70

RX Image Reject Cal:frequency calibration can be performed by tuning to a known Frequency Standard like WWV/WWVH on 5, 10 or 15MHz or in concert radio station with a high-level .

7.Image Reject

after Image Reject

Transmit Rejection will not adjust - the processing of the program!

When you do these calibrations can now listen and work CW on the bands!!!!
