[Elecraft] PLL reference oscillator - Range of 9.1 kHz or more OK

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

Hi Brendan,

As Wayne noted in his email, a PLL reference oscillator range of 9.1 kHz or 
more is sufficient, so you are OK. The manual is a bit too conservative and 
will be updated.

Noticeable jumps in PLL tuning every 5 kHz usually indicate that you need to 
rerun CAL PLL with the K2 in its final configuration (with the top and bottom 
cover ON.)

If you ran it with either cover off there will be a slight change in PLL 
calibration due to the proximity of the bottom cover and top cover + speaker 
magnet to the PLL circuitry.
