[Elecraft] Tuning Rates and fine tune shift.

[David Walker]

I used to notice that when I was tuning in  1Khz steps my frequency used to always end up about 30khz or 50khz higher.  So from tuning say from 5050.00 to 7070.00 using the 1Khz tuning rate the fine tune frequency read at would be 7070.03 or 7070.05.

Anyway, I did the recalibration of my K2 using Wayne's calibration posted on Don Wilhelm's website this avo because my dial frequency was 70hz out and I wanted to get it more accurate.  

I've got the calibration within 20-30khz however NOW I've noticed my 1khz tuning rate begins and ends perfectly.  So tuning from 7050.00 to 7070.00 by readout now shows 7070.00.

I've never seen this discussed before. I assume that if the 1khz tuning rate creates fine tune shift this must be related to a calibration problem?
