[Elecraft] KX3 manual page 14 regardincg "TUNE".

[JEROME SODUS]

Please disregard my post as I have "re-found" the answer.
Long story short...I started this activity some six months ago and had to stop for personal reasons.
I had simply forgotten that Ray K2ULR had provided the answer back then.
When I realized it, I tried to stop my post but Keith WE6R emailed me that there is no way to do that.
Apologies for taking up the bandwidth.
