According to my Leader LDC-824S counter, when transmitting with an
indicated dial freq of 10.000.00Mhz, (Tune mode at .1w) my K2 is
actually TX on 9.999966
Tuning in the reference freq of the counter on the K2, I _almost_
zero-beat at 10.000.04Mhz. When I TX with an indicated dial freq
of 10.000.04Mhz, the counter reads it as 10.000001.
So, with such a small error, is it worth the trouble to try and get
closer?
I tested this because It seems that to have people sound right on 18.132,
I tend to tune to 18.132.10 and nobody tells me that it sounds like I'm
off freq (high).
TX with an indicated dial freq of 18.132.00, the counter sees 18.132399.
All counter readings taken with a 10s gate time for better accuracy.
Am I just being anal/paranoid or could I get this closer?
