KX3 assembly manual question

[Bruce Beford-2]

At the end of the KX3 assembly manual, the following statement is seen:

 2) If you installed the KXFL3, calibrate it as shown on the instruction
sheet supplied with the KXFL3 module.

I note that the instruction sheet for the KXFL3 module is not yet available
on the Elecraft manuals download page. Could it be posted please, for
download and review of these calibration instructions?

Thanks,
Bruce, N1RX

Absent the referenced document, possibly the information you seek is in the
KX3 Owner's Manual. Specifically on page 31: "If you install a KXFL3
roofing filter during KX3 kit assembly, or install one in a factory
assembled KX3 after initial purchase, you’ll need to perform the Receive
Sideband calibration step (pg 32)."

If these are both the same thing, then possibly the assembly manual could
also be adjusted: "2) If you installed the KXFL3, calibrate it as shown on
the instruction sheet supplied with the KXFL3 module or as shown in the
Calibration section of the KX3 Owner's Manual."

Hope this helps!

Thanks, JP. That reads as if the relevant procedure is duplicated in the
Owner's Manual proper. Shame on me for not checking there in the first
place. I'll go over that section in the owner's manual (still waiting on my
kit, so I've got some time...)

73,

Bruce, N1RX

Bruce,

The instructions have changed.  Did you receive a KXFL3 option quite
recently?  If so, there should have been a small 2 turn loop antenna
supplied with it - along with the instructions.

I do have a preliminary copy of the instructions - because I field
tested those instructions.
If you have a real need to obtain them, send me an off-list email -
actually I was hoping someone at Elecraft would answer you and could
likely give you more updated info, but I think the key players in this
are getting ready to go to Dayton and don't have time to read the reflector.

No problem, Don. I reviewed the Opposite Sideband null instructions in the
latest KX3 Owner's manual (Rev B1, dated 4/24/12). The instructions appear
clear and complete. They do mention using the antenna wire to pick up the
MCU's 16MHz oscillator, if that is used as the source. I should be all set.
Thanks es 73,
Bruce
