A happy Holiday season and a great and healthy new year to all. I just finished my fully loaded KX3.  I am having several issues with it.  Elecraft is closed today, so decided to ask other Elecraft users some questions.  Here is the first: I am having three issues with my new KX3 serial number 3085. I
am unable to align the filter. There is no change in amplitude when I try to
find a null. I have attempted the alignment about 7 or 8 times. 

Second: The second issue is that I can't calibrate the radio. Using my Bird 43 and Bird dummy load, the calibration stops saying the SWR is 99/1, and stops. When I transmit into the same load all is fine with a 1/1 SWR.  Third: The third problem is in LSB. In USB I hear signals and it sounds great. When I switch to LSB the radio goes silent. Nothing at all.  Any ideas? 73AlanW1HYV
