Guy,

You aren't the first to be caught by this one.  It got me too.  The firmware
doesn't support entering that data yet.  Standby...

73, Bud  N7CW

K3 alignment in user manual:

Method 3 (1 ppm TCXO Option):
. Locate the CONFIG:REF CAL menu entry.
Tap 1 to change the name to REF xxC.
. Locate the calibration data sheet, which shows
frequency vs. temperature over a wide range.
. For each data point, tap 2 or 3 to select the
calibration temperature, then use VFO A to set
the specified oscillator frequency in Hz.
. Tap MENU to exit the menu.

I have the TCXO3 and the little sheet with the calibration settings.  Unable
to enter settings because "tapping 1" doesn't do anything in config.  REF
CAL will not change to REF xxC. The "1" button works for all normal RX
functions. 

I have Firmware 2.11 which came with #1239.  I am doing config in the
technical mode. Tapping the 1 button in config mode briefly points to B VFO,
as if that function was still in effect in config. Any clues as to what I
may be doing wrong?
