Steve, I don't know if there's a factory or "typical" REF CAL setting, but my KX3's REF CAL setting is 114.260.70
Can you find ANY signal whose frequency you know, even an AM broadcast band signal? That would tell you how far off you are. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- I am not having any luck with that CAL number. I am on 40 transmitting with my FT-857D in to a dummy load and I can't find the signal. I've gone way below and above the transmit frequency (7.025). Before when I adjusted the CAL number the first time I was on 40 and did the same thing - transmitted with the FT-857D and tuned the CAL number, with the KX3's VFO on the same frequency as the FT-857D, to zero-beat. It took a fair amount of dial spinning to get there but it went. Now I'm not sure where it is. Is there a standard starting number from the factory? How much variation is there in CAL numbers? I was thinking if I got a group of numbers and averaged them I might have a better shot, but until I can even find a signal on the rig I might be shooting in the dark.
