[Elecraft] KX3 freq stability module request

[Bob]

I'm still looking at the KX3 and have not made the choice between instant 
gratification or
delayed when I turn it on and it works from building the kit.  I do enjoy kits, 
my 1st a Boy
Scout Explorer receiver kit from the 50's.

Mike's comment seems to imply that he has a drift issue and is a consideration 
in possibly
selling off his KX3.

Dave's indicates that there is a solution.  I have downloaded the assembly and 
operators
manual and do not see it.   Have I missed something??

Assuming that there are temperature calibrations involved leads to a 2nd 
question. Is this
procedure part of the factory built units?   If so this could be the value added 
item that trips
the kit verses factory equation towards the factory version.

Anyone know for sure....

73,
