[Elecraft] [KX3] PX3 display not sensitive

[John Kramer]

I bought a new KX3 and PX3 factory built, 3 weeks ago. It is a great pair, but there are several 
annoying things. The one thing that I have issue with is the very poor “sensitivity” of the PX3.
I have 59 plus 10 signals on my KX3, however, on the PX3 waterfall the trace is very faint and
indistinct. This is on a signal more than 20db above the noise floor !!!
I really hate to have to compare, but on my Flex radio’s, you can see signals on the waterfall display 
that you can barely hear in the receiver. And when signals are reasonably strong, you can analyse 
the signal to a good degree - you can see if the transmitting station is splattering, overdriving etc
With the PX3 the sensitivity is quite poor - with a strong signal you can barely see and analyse 
the incoming audio. I have tried a number of settings, adjusting contrast etc but I can’t seem
to improve it, and guess it’s inherent in the firmware.
Am I missing something ? or can it be improved in a future firmware update ?
