Welcome to the hobby Eben! To your question first: I'm not sure what you
mean by "produced QRM," but if you mean audio feedback [various
squeals], yes, I'd expect that a receiver close to the KX3 is going to
hear it even with the power at zero.
Regarding difficulty in making contact(s)on 80, what are you using for
an antenna? How are you feeding power to it?

So far I've managed to make contact on 80m but it leaves a lot to be desired.
While messing around I tuned a portable receiver to the same frequency
as the kx3. I had the kx3 power set to 0 watts and keyed the mic. The
receiver produced qrm every time I did this.
Is this normal?
