Application Note	Description	Revision (if applicable)	Production phase-in details (if applicable)
Elecraft KXPA100 + KX3 Power Calibration	This optional calibration procedure pairs a specific KX3 to a specific KXPA100 for maximum accuracy between requested RF output and actual output. It is optional because the KXPA100 is factory calibrated to an Elecraft lab-standard KX3 transceiver, measuring and saving expected KX3 drive power for a given KXPA100 output power. See the Application Note for the tools required to complete it.	Revision A February 5, 2014
Tuning Noise Suppression Modification	KX3s with the KXFL3 filter installed may exhibit noticeable "zipper" noise when the VFO is tuned on quiet bands. This Application Note discusses how to determine if your KX3 needs the modification and how to do it. Applied to factory assembled KX3s from serial number 4668 up, and kits from serial number 4753 up that include the KXFL3 option. KX3's shipped after to not have the problem.	Revision B3 July 10, 2013
KX3 160M/80M Rx Performance Improvement	The KX3's receive dynamic performance has been improved by approximately 10dB on the 80M and 160M bands only. Operators on these bands may recognize improved performance with strong local interference with this modification in place. This App Note discusses how to determine if you will benefit from the Performance Improvement and whether your KX3 needs to have it installed.	Revision B October, 2012
PER-BAND RXSBNUL with AUTOMATIC GAIN/PHASE NULLING	Allows receive opposite-sideband suppression to be optimized on any or all bands, relative to the normal level of suppression. Requires S9 to S9+30 signal source on each band to be adjusted. This is applicable to KX3's below serial number 2324.	Revision A8 January 24, 2013
KX3 VFO TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION	Improved frequency stability is available for some of the new Digital Modes, such as JT65. It is also recommended when installing the 2M Option after the KX3 was purchased or if you are building the KX3 from a kit. If you purchased your KX3 factory-built with the 2M Option installed at the time of purchase, the factory performed this procedure for you.	Rev. A9 November 14, 2012	Note: This note contains a reference to the XG50, a product we  no longer carry.
KX3 Improving Internal Speaker Performance	If you have occasional loss of audio or crackling sounds coming from your KX3’s internal speaker, especially at high volume levels, see this short Application Note for details on how the connector is to be oriented.	Revision A April 24, 2013
Builder Alert: Battery tray mounting screws	The 2-56 flat head screws used to attach the battery trays fitted inside the KX3 may not seat smoothly against the plastic holder. This Application Note discusses how this can be addressed. KX3 Kit Builders should check their battery tray installation using this Application Note. All Factory-built KX3's will not have the problem.	January 14 2013
