[Elecraft] KX3 / NaP3 Display Images

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

NaP3 has a mirror image rejection algorithm.  Tune to an S-9 or greater 
signal and wait a bit to allow it to work  The stronger the signal, the 
faster it will be corrected.  An XG3 set to -33 dBm will work quite nicely.

At least two other KX3 owners that I know about have experienced this issue and I'm wondering if there is a fix, or is it just the way it is. Also, what causes it - KX3 design or something out of whack in NaP3? Here's what the issue is:

As I turn the dial on the KX3, they move in opposite directions. Only ONE is the "real" signal - the other is a mirror. It isn't a huge problem, but does cause me to tune to dead space if I've selected the wrong one. :-(
