Adjusts the sensitivity of the VOX to match your mic and voice.
Adjusts immunity of the VOX circuit to false triggering by speaker audio. (Also
known as anti-vox.) A setting of about 30 is a good starting point. If receive audio
from a speaker trips the vox, increase the setting.
Wattmeter calibration parameter. The default setting is recommended. If an
external, known-accurate wattmeter reads lower than the KX3's wattmeter,
decrease the parameter value (and vice-versa). Note: The ATU (KXAT3), even
when bypassed, may cause a small amount of loss (typically less than 0.5 dB).
Internal wattmeter accuracy may vary by up to 1 dB, varying with band.
