KX3 Menu options and defaults

N8CEP

I recently purchased a used KX3. I want to check the menus to see if anything has been changed by the previous owner.
Is the menu list current in the online manual dated February 2013?  I know that firmware updates have been
issued since that manual was written.

Thanks for any help!

Hello Keith,

the default setting can be found in the manual auf the KX3. All other
settings are adjustment-related and not so easily changeable by chance.

You can perform parts of the adjustment by yourself but TXSNUL
adjustment for example needs a spectrum analyzer.

If the rig is working fine the settings are most likely correct. I would
reset all values to the known default values and leave the adjustment
alone or adjust only the parts that you are able of (RXSNUL, TX gain,
VFO temperature compensation).

Regards!

Sven, DJ2AT

PS: Do not forget to save your new defaults using the KX3 utility!

You do not need a current menu list to find the default settings - it is
in the KX3 menu help text.
When in the menu, scroll to any menu item of interest and hold the MENU
button for about 3 seconds to bring up the help display.  The default
value (if any) will be shown in parenthesis at the start of the help text.
