[Elecraft] What is status on tuning noise on KX3?

[Oliver Dröse]

Hi Wayne,

how will that help people without the roofing filter?

I've got one in mine and suffer tremendously from tuning noise :-( But a 
friend has one without the roofer and has the same problems although not as 
poor as on mine. But still VFO NR and 8 kHz shift does not fix it all ...
