[Elecraft] KX3 EXTENDED VFO TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION PROCEDURE

[Wayne Burdick]

No. It's a very time-consuming procedure, and until I come up with  
some quicker way to do it, it will have to remain optional at the  
user's preference. (The manufacturing team balked when I told them  
they'd need an industrial-size refrigerator, 10 hair dryers, and an  
additional hour of bench time per radio :)

Keep in mind that for most KX3 owners, the extended compensation is  
not needed. You'll normally only need it if you're doing very  
narrowband modes like JT65 on the higher bands.

If you do decided to do it, you'll need a very stable 6-meter signal  
source. We created a low-cost, stable oscillator (XG50) for those who  
don't have one.

73,
