[Elecraft] Tuning Rates and fine tune shift.

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave,

>From my observations, if the lower order digits on the frequency display are
different than xxxx.00 when you switch to 1kHz tuning steps, those
undisplayed digits will stay the same as they were. - in other words, if you
were tuned to 7070.35 and go to the 1 kHz tuning the steps will be to
7071.35, 7072.35 etc.

Perhaps Wayne will chime in here with the 'real' answer.  I never paid a lot
of attention to it and just assumed it was like I said above.

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?
