Operating Tip	Description	Revision (if applicable)
Connecting KX3 to your Computer and Backup / Restore your Settings*	To assist you in keeping your rig up and running for the long haul, we have engineered some "Good Housekeeping" features to ensure your radio can talk to your computer, back up your configurations and update your firmware. This Application Note steps you through them. If you are new to the KX3 or KX2, take a moment to read through this Application Note.	Revision A September, 2012
Maximizing Battery Life	The Elecraft KX3 has been designed with mobile applications in mind and that means maximizing battery life. Built into the KX3 are a number of features and capabilities that can be enabled separately. This Operating Tip discusses those features.	Revision A September, 2012
Using a Straight Key	The KX3's attached keyer paddle, the KXPD3, is very flexible. However, the KX3 can actually handle 2 keys connected at the same time. This Operating Tip discusses how this can be done.	Revision A September, 2012
Using APF for Weak Signal CW	Both the K3 and KX3 have an APF control (audio peaking filter). APF can be extremely effective when you're trying to copy weak CW signals buried in the noise.	Revision A September, 2012
Using APF with K3 and KX3	Elecraft's K3 radio has quite a few features to assist the avid DX and Contester to dig out weak signals across the entire HF bands. This Operating Note is intended to highlight one of these features, the Audio Peaking Filter, or the APF, as it is generally called. Primarily intended for the CW operator, this feature enhances the already excellent DSP filtering built into the K3 and KX3.	Revision A September, 2012

How to Lock VFO on KX3	Locking the VFO can be useful when operating mobile or portable, or if you just want to stay parked on one frequency for a long time and don't want to accidentally change it. Here's how that is achieved.	Revision A September, 2012
