I have tuned around the bands a bit on my KX3 but I haven't had a QSO on it yet. I was working on hooking up a mic the past couple days and got it wired up. So I decided to give it a try listening on my FT-857D. The KX3 was plugged in to a dummy load.
I put both rigs in CW first just to see what the signal strength was like listening on an antenna and transmitting in to the dummy load. I couldn't find the transmitted signal from the KX3. Long story short, I changed bands a few times and that didn't work. So I put the antenna on the KX3 and found that I was detecting a close signal on the other rig. I took a spin around the dial to find it. My KX3 was on 18.070 and my FT-857D tuned it in at 18.057.67. I put the dummy load back on the KX3 and tried USB. Without touching the frequency on the KX3 the FT-857D pulled in the SSB signal at 18.057.5, 12.5kHz off. The FT-857D is my every day rig in the truck, I know its not that far off. How can I align/calibrate the frequency on the KX3?
