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.
regards,
Brian
