[Elecraft] KX3 Question

[Mike]

Page 31 of the owner's manual states that if you install a KXFL3 during kit
assembly, you need to run the receive sideband calibration on page 32.  I don't
think this was done at the factory, as my cal values were quite a bit different
from the default values in the rig.

I mean, the instruction saying that configuration/calibration of the filter is not required if shipped with the KX3.  By the way, even though it was shipped, I did install it and the configuration instructions say that the procedure must be performed whenever the filter is removed or replaced.

I am just about to do the calibration for the filter but I noticed that there is an LED or something that flashes, maybe once per 2 seconds?, inside the KX3.  I can see it through the key/paddle plug opening.
