[Elecraft] KX3: Is this a serious error in KX3 Firmware affecting the IQ output?

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

I don't know the answer, but what I can inject is the fact that the KX3 
shifts to Weaver demodulation at some point, it may be at 1.7 kHz.
That would affect the signal peaks without substantially changing the 
sound of the signal on the KX3.
