You have been thinking on this for a bit--instant gratification is out
of the question <grin>.
Some on this group are picking nits off nits. Many are working at the
extremes of the hobby and advancing the state of the art. The extreme
issues are important to what they do, but not to most of us. We do get
to take advantage of their advances because Elecraft pays attention to
advancements. If you are looking for solutions to such issues in the
manual, you are not operating in the cutting edge of advancement.
You could look elsewhere for a better radio, but what other company
listens the way Elecraft listens, and incorporates advancements into
already offered and sold radios the way this company does?
If cutting edge tinkering is interesting to you, why buy a built radio?

I'm still looking at the KX3 and have not made the choice between
instant gratification or
delayed when I turn it on and it works from building the kit. I do
enjoy kits, my 1st a Boy
Scout Explorer receiver kit from the 50's.
Mike's comment seems to imply that he has a drift issue and is a
consideration in possibly
selling off his KX3.
Dave's indicates that there is a solution. I have downloaded the
assembly and operators
manual and do not see it. Have I missed something??
Assuming that there are temperature calibrations involved leads to a
2nd question. Is this
procedure part of the factory built units? If so this could be the
value added item that trips
the kit verses factory equation towards the factory version.
Anyone know for sure....

It only takes less than an hour, Mike. Surely you could spend the time
going through the procedure rather than spending $s on such a module
even if it will ever be available.
My KX3 does not shift more than 2-4 Hz from 10C to 50C. It's well worth
going through the procedure.

I don't have the time to cook/freeze my radio to 'fix' it.
I would think that there would be a big demand for portable digital
modes. I can work people using my phone for goodness sake.
Is there any possibility that a stable frequency module will come out?
I am trying to decide if I should keep the radio.
