Hi Rick, I did not have the same results as you have described using a hair dryer. But, I didn't get the results I wanted or expected using a hair dryer based on process documented in the Elecraft manual. If you can find an incandescent light bulb (60w is fine) and try that instead of the hair dryer, I wonder if your results will be different. I had much better results with the light bulb approach than the hair dryer when doing the KX3 temp compensation procedure.
