[Elecraft] KX3 - Calibrating Frequency/Aligning?

[Steve KC8QVO]

I am not having any luck with that CAL number. I am on 40 transmitting with
my FT-857D in to a dummy load and I can't find the signal. I've gone way
below and above the transmit frequency (7.025). 

Before when I adjusted the CAL number the first time I was on 40 and did the
same thing - transmitted with the FT-857D and tuned the CAL number, with the
KX3's VFO on the same frequency as the FT-857D, to zero-beat. It took a fair
amount of dial spinning to get there but it went. Now I'm not sure where it
is. 

Is there a standard starting number from the factory? How much variation is
there in CAL numbers? I was thinking if I got a group of numbers and
averaged them I might have a better shot, but until I can even find a signal
on the rig I might be shooting in the dark.
