Wow, I suggest getting used to it or just quit looking and check every few
months or so if this bugs you this month. The K3 is a new product, there are
new features to come like the DVR and a panadapter and tweaks to old ones.
The sub Rx just got released and there is a long-long list of requested
feature changes to the K3 firmware in addition to the yet to implemented
features promised before the first K3 sale like ability to use the higher
stability reference oscillator.

I expect many-many more changes to come; your expectations of some kind of
near-term stability just aren't realistic IMHO. I would suggest finding a
way to get your head around hunkering down for a couple of years of this. We
all signed on to this when we purchased a brand new state of the art
product. I am sorry if your expectations were different.
