Yes. This is correct and Elecraft has a configuration file for your KX3 by
your serial number including configuration/calibration data for any options
such as the filter.

Where is this located? I mean, the instruction saying that

The information on calibration of filter is in the owner's manual. The
version I have, it is on page 32 under the heading "CALIBRATION". It
clearly states that if the filter and KX3 were ordered and shipped at the
same time, the filter calibration is not needed.

from the default values in the rig.

Mike and all,
Whatever options you ordered with your KX3 were pre-aligned. BUT, can
you do a better job of it in your own shack after you assemble your
particular KX3 - the answer is a definite YES. The alignment that comes
with your KX3 is good, but with care, you can always do better. Just

I stil think that the owner's manual is telling us to do the
calibration, and the kit assembly manual is telling us not to. As I'm
lazy, and the kit assembly manual is more recent, I chose to not
calibrate. But I think there should be an erratum to the owner's manual
about this.

Yes, the Owner's Manual does tell you that, Jon. However, Errata A2-2

I would advocate using two coax relays and connect the KX3 to a dummy

easiest way I can think of is to set the power to zero and activate the
PTT with yet another relay contact.

I've just had my new KX3 on air for the first time, but have been
plagued by an extremely annoying noise when tuning. The noise
is most obvious on 10 and 12m, but is audible down to at least
20; it sounds like a series of mushy clicks as I tune, and makes
tuning quite unpleasant.

Hi Thaire,
Is the message occurring in receive mode?
If so, try plugging in headphones. This disables the speaker amplifier, which

If that allows the radio to stay on longer, tap DISP and rotate
