The KX3 has no problems running the JT modes and all I used was the Elecraft XG50 kit I built for calibration. Mine was a factory built unit I want the 8 hrs. of burn-in time after built then all calibrations rechecked before it's shipped.

You basically put the radio in the fridge/freezer and then go through process with an accurate reference signal to correct for drift as the temperature comes up. It is only needed if you have need of very tight frequency control -- as is required by some digital modes. On this page: http://www.elecraft.com/KX3/kx3_app_notes.htm near the bottom, you can see the application note. - Brendon KK6AYI On May 28, 2013, at 1:10 PM, Bob wrote: > Assuming that there are temperature calibrations involved leads to a 2nd question.
