Firstly thanks to everyone for your input on potential causes of SWR reading instability with my KX3. Since there were so many possibilities (antenna, heating, radio, etc.) I knew I needed to go back to basics and initially test the radio with a dummy load on the bench. Well, I managed to recreate the issue and have documented my findings in a short 4 min video, http://youtu.be/cwxk4E01IfM

In short the problem appears to be associated with the KX3 reporting of SWR in SSB mode. My radio is configured as follows: uC 01.79, dSP 01.27. As this issue has only recently developed (last month or so), and while I can't be 100% sure, I think it may have occurred after I upgraded to this firmware version.

I'll be contacting the folks at Elecraft to get their opinion on this.
