If you're feeling adventurous, let me know and I'll email you our  
latest KX3 field-test firmware (rev 1.01). Since the last production  
release, 0.99, we've made a number of significant changes:

- improved AGC (similar to the latest K3 firmware)

- autospot with RIT on adjusts the RIT offset rather than the VFO A  
frequency

- speech compression (CMP) is automatically disabled in audio data  
modes (DATA-A, AFSK-A)

- VFO tuning noise reduction (MENU:VFO NR) can now be enabled/disabled  
on a per-band basis; typically needed only on 6 meters

- dual watch now disengages correctly when the VFOs are out of dual- 
watch range, preventing "ghost" signals that were observed at around  
+/- 15 kHz VFO A/B separation

- receive noise pulse rejection prevents the S-meter and AGC from  
getting "pinged" by things like appliances and florescent lamps

- various other bug fixes
