[Elecraft] Another K2 frequency calibration technique

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

You don't try to o find a zero Hz audio beat. The point is to "zero =
beat"
the SPOT tone  - the sidetone - at whatever frequency you have it set =
for in
CW mode, just like you'd tune in any CW signal. Then you aren't dealing =
with
the fact that the K2 can't real low audio frequencies.=20

... Another tip that
may help would be to temporarily set the CAL FIL up on
one wide bandwidth to center the BFO freq - in other words, tune for =
lowest
"swish." This will allow you to hear both sidebands (I would think) and =
help
find the zero beat. If nothing else, you can tune to one side, tune to =
the
other, and then split the difference with the tweaking tool.

I didn't bother doing that -- just pressed CW RV (which switches between =
USB
and LSB, btw, if you start in one of those and not
CW: neat!) and estimated the position of the tweaker.
