[Elecraft] XG50 temp comp for KX3

[Thorpe, Jeffrey]

One other question: at the very end of the extended procedure, it says (in bold) to kake sure I do the refcal procedure at room temperature as it says in the manual.
Am I supposed to do the refcal again? - after the extended procedure? Or is this just a note/reminder regarding the reference calibration that I do before the extended procedure?
