Posting misleading comment such as that can do nothing to help
those experiencing difficulty.  Of course CAL-PLL calibrates the dial
(I never said otherwise, and both methods that I outline call for
this to be done); a correct CAL-FIL is ALSO needed for a correct
frequency readout, and I explain how to be sure that this is done.

I never said otherwise.

A never-ending question because of
a) questionable methods outlined in the K2 Owners Manual;
b) a great deal of misleading comment and poor advice posted
    on this reflector.
