FW: [Elecraft] K2 Dial Reading Lower Than Actual Frequency by 70 Hz

Two things.

When they say "zero beat", that probably means your voice sounds "about
right" rather than they can somehow measure your suppressed carrier
frequency. 70 Hz is pretty close, tho.

You didn't mention if the C22 adjustment was off any. If not, your PLL and
FIL calibration runs didn't change anything.

Most likely, you can get your transmitted audio to sound "about right" by
moving the BFO (FL1 only) about [ready for this?] 70 Hz. If it recieves
funny, then receive on FL2 (you always transmit on FL1) and set FL2 to OP1
and whatever BFO freq sounds good to you.

My K2 dial says 7254.93 when the group tells me I'm zero beat.
