[Elecraft] VFO calibration

[Helmut Usbeck]

-Someone mentioned that all counters are calibrated against WWV.  I don't
know where that urban (or rural) legend came from.  If you think that
down at H-P techs are zeroing in counters with an old Grundig tuned to 10
Mc. you're off.  I had mine sent to a lab where it was compared to a rubicon
standard.  Which of course is what WWV uses as it's standard.

-Here's a fly in the ointment.  I wanted to post this a couple weeks ago
and forgot about it.  I was looking at the sidetone using an external
700 Hz filter on my K2 which I have set to 700 Hz.(that's the tone I like
and found that it wasn't at 700, it was at 711Hz.  So we have an inaccuracy there also.

-Still love my little K2 transceiver though, warts and all.  This rig is a
hobby unto itself.
