[Elecraft] Optimizing OP1 BFO using second receiver.

After recalibrating the frequency for my K2 I needed to optimize the BFO
settings for OP1 in upper and lower sideband. I hooked up a dummy load to
the K2 and used my Omni VI to monitor the audio. 

I know that both radios have some error in their frequency calibration. If I
am going to get the BFO settings correct both radios need to be on the same
frequency. What I did was set both radios to CW. On the K2 I transmitted. I
then used the spot tone on the Omni VI to zero beat the tones. Then I
switched to USB or LSB on each radio to adjust the BFOs.
 
Did I do this correctly? Is there a better way to be exactly on frequency
with both radios? 

I use SSB so little that this hardly matters, but I do want to have it set
up correctly.

Thanks,
