KX3 2M Question

[Ron Bell]

Hi,

Is any special calibration required, specifically the Temp Compensation
required for basic voice FM/SSB use when installing the 2M option?

"*Q:*  *What is the frequency stability?*



"A: Standard (uncompensated) frequency stability is sufficient for FM or AM
operation. For CW/SSB/data use, it will be necessary to perform the KX3's
extended VFO temperature compensation procedure, providing typical
stability of about ± 10 Hz on 2 meters. This range is compatible with
170-Hz-shift RTTY but is not compatible with many narrowband modes,
including JT65 and WSPR.wband modes, including JT65 and WSPR."
