[Elecraft] KX3 Field Day observations

[Wayne Burdick]

Thanks for the report, Phillip. We had two KX3s at our FD site (K6SRA)  
with similar results.

Regarding VFO tuning noise, did you try using RX SHFT on the affected  
band(s)? This turns out to be very effective, especially in  
combination with VFO NR. Both menu entries can be set up per-band, and  
are typically needed only the highest bands.

73,
