Mike,

I picked up on your "horrible antenna" words.
Yes, with no antenna, or a "horrible antenna", you may hear some VFO 
tuning noise in the KX3, but that is usually covered up by band noise 
with a normal antenna connected (except on 6 meters and maybe 10 meters 
where the band noise is low).

You can use the menu VFO NR on bands where the tuning noise is a 
problem.  This is a locked menu entry and it is a per band setting.

73,
Don W3FPR
