Rule #1 - If it isn't broke, don' try to fix it.
Rule#2 - See rule #1.
I agree with Don, a reset will wipe everything including calibrations
and alignment parameters. While the previous owner's information,
frequencies, and etc. may not be of use to you, one can easily overwrite
those values with the utility.
And as always, make a back-up of the radio configuration before you
change anything. Then after you make changes, make a back-up of your
data. The back-up files are each date and time stamped. That then
becomes a good starting point for future reference.

Tommy,
I would not recommend doing a Reset to Factory Defaults unless there
is a problem.
That reset will wipe out calibration and the installed option as well
as setting the menu items back to default information.
You can always go into the menu and set each entry of interest to you
to its default or setting of your preference. I would suggest you do
not 'monkey' with the locked calibration settings. The menu listing
in the back of the manual indicates the default for each menu item.
The menu is not gigantic or deep - unlike some other radios.
If you really want to do a reset, first save a configuration file
using KX3 Utility. After the reset, you can restore the configuration.

Good Morning,
I’m in the process of purchasing a KX3 and will be the third owner.
The seller suggested the radio be reset but not entirely back to
factory defaults.
Never having owned an Elecraft radio I have no clue how to go about
doing this. Would someone please point me in the right direction to
learn how this is done?
Thank you, Tommy
