Thank you Don for your courteous and detailed reply.
My problem turned out to be that RX SHFT was on.
I was getting unexpected results when I performed the procedure
according to the manual. I failed to recognize the RX SHFT response as
an error code. After I duplicated your suggestion (as per the book), I
knew I was doing it properly and was still missing something. I finally
realized that I had the RX SHFT parameter enabled on this band. Of
course, the book states that Dual RX and RX SHFT are incompatible and
the SHFT must be off. Corrected that and all is well. Brain lapse
corrected.
To those who could not resist RTFM type comments, I can only say that as
a long time early adopter of Elecraft I am fully aware of the necessity
to read the manual fully. I have done so several times. On the day I
sent my frustrated request for help, I had spent another two hours with
the manual and KX3 and continually misinterpreted the error message. I
was disappointed with the fact that I received several RTFM type
comments without any useful information pointing to the real error that
I knew I must be making repeatedly.
Recognizing how these RTFM comments made me feel makes me very glad that
I have refrained numerous times from making such comments when I thought
it probably was appropriate.
Again Don, I thank you for your ever courteous and accurate responses to
those of us who sometimes go down the wrong path and miss the obvious
even after reading the manual numerous times.
Aloha,
John KH7T kits:
K3 #125, P3 #159 P3SVGA, KPA500 #180, KAT500 #308,
KX3 #659 - OK I was a little slow to adopt the KAT500 and KX3.
There were also a K2/100 and a KX1 moved on to new happy users.

John,
Like all other menu changes, bring up the menu and dial to DUAL RX
with VFO B knob. Then turn the VFO A knob to change the parameter.
Exit the menu.

I went to MENU. DUAL RX is OFF.
Both a and b vfo are within 10 kc on 40 M SSB
How to I change OFF to AUTO? I have never tried this before. Manual
just says do it.
