A few days ago, I wrote that my biggest annoyance with the KX3 were the
key clicks / ringing when working split. After installing the latest
Beta F/W (2.23), and turning the KX3's RX IF shift to 8.0, the ringing
is gone!
Last night, I worked W1AW/5 on 30 m split (1 up) and there was no ringing.
Thank you, Elecraft. Thank you, Wayne.
For the next week or so, my September setup is back on track.
Another thing from the list I previously posted:
You *can*, in a way, have more than one macro loaded at a time - you can
create each macro so that it will call up the next macro effectively
cycling through your list of macros. I think I posted here before where
one press of PF1 will put me in CW mode, copy VFO A to VFO B, turn on
split, turn on dual watch, and change VFO B so it is 1 kHz higher. That
macro then calls a second macro that undoes all that. The first long
hold of PF1 turns all that on; the second long hold turns it all off.
You could have PF1 (or PF2) setup so that if you were working W1AW/p
(for example) on CW split on one band and then RTTY split on another so
that your macro button steps through the macros. Now, how useful this is
to each individual operator is completely subjective.

to two or three - I wouldn't need the ATU macro).
My absolute biggest annoyances are the key clicks and digital ringing
when working split / dual watch in either mode. The *only* way I found
to get rid of the key clicks was to turn off dual watch and just
operate split. However, if I read the manual correctly, this
eliminates the ability to listen to both VFO A and VFO B. The KX3
Operating Manual, Rev B4, June 01, 2012 it states, "Dual Watch
Limitations... A wider roofing filter than normal will be selected
automatically, if required, based on the frequency span between VFO A
and VFO B."
