[Elecraft] Frequency Reference

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Yes. Set your K2 to CW, and use SPOT to zero beat the received signal to =
the
sidetone. When you do that, the frequency display is showing the actual
carrier frequency of the transmitted signal and the frequency your rig =
will
transmit on if you hit the key.=20

If you try to use LSB or USB SSB mode, you'd have to find the exact
zero-frequency beat in your tuning. Since the K2 (like most rigs) rolls =
off
the audio response at very low audio frequencies and you can't hear the
"other" sideband in any case to judge were "zero" should be, trying to =
do it
in SSB mode won't be very accurate.=20

I'm wondering if someone can explain something to me.
...When attempting to "zero beat" against this reference, do I=20
set my K2 to USB, LSB or CW? Also the tone I should be listening for is=20
the frequency of my sidetone correct? Thanks in advance.
