[Elecraft] KX3 Field Day observations

[Phillip Shepard]

I did try those and they work.  It wasn't a real issue for me, since I was
not doing many fast QSYs.  Usually used freq entry for that.  It's a great
portable rig!  My K2 may get lonely now, hi hi.

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.
