[Elecraft] A K1 with a Tx offset all the time?

[Don Wilhelm]

Paul,

Follow the instructions in the manual page 47 for setting the Transmit
Offset.

The transmit oscillator in the K1 is separate from the BFO.  You must adjust
the transmit oscillator (C13 is the adjustment) so it will transmit at the
same frequency that is being received.

After setting the transmit offset, you may do the receive frequency
calibration and you should be 'set to go'.
