Loaded and tried 2.23
Did not find any problems so far. Thank you Elecraft for the long awaited 
DUAL RX with 8kHz shift enabled.
Now, is there any way to implement balance adjustment between the channels 
(like it is done in K3)?

KX3 firmware rev. 2.23 (with DSP rev. 1.30) enables the use of DUAL RX (dual 
watch) even with RX SHFT set to 8.0 kHz in the menu. RX SHFT=8.0 can help 
optimize the KX3's performance in the presense of large signals or power 
supply noise. Shifting the RX may also help in CW mode with dual watch 
enabled, reducing audible keying artifacts.

NOTE: On any band where dual watch is turned on with RX SHFT set to 8.0, the 
normal +/- 15 kHz dual-watch VFO A-to-B separation becomes -7/+23 kHz. But 
the KX3 will, in all cases, automatically turn off dual watch if the VFO 
separation exceeds the limits.
