[Elecraft] K2 #4472 new builder question on 4 mhz alighment

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Jerry,

To properly tune WWV to 'zero beat', do the following:
Set the K2 to LSB and adjust the frequecy until the tones transmitted by WWV
occur at 500 or 600 Hz (they alternate each minute).  I use Spectrogram with
markers set to 500 and 600 Hz to use as an aid.  You can get close by tuning
until the voice announcements sound about right, but I can't seem to get any
closer than about 40 Hz that way - that is why I use Spectrogram.  The 1000 
Hz tone is transmitted for only one second at the minute interval, the 500 
or 600 Hz tones are transmitted for about 45 seconds (except for some silent 
minutes).

There is more information on my WWV zero-beating technique and using the
N6KR method to set the reference on my webpage www.qsl.net/w3fpr - look for
the article on K2 dila calibration.

73,
Don W3FPR
