[Elecraft] Info: K2 warm up time vs temp vs drift

[Ken Bessler]

I had my K2 off to replace a defective headphone jack and
when I powered it back on, I decided to track how far off
freq the rig was and how long it would take to warm up to
spec. I used Spectran and measured WWV's carrier in USB
mode on 9999.400. Here are the results:

Time on    Room Temp    Off freq amount (hz)
1 minute       75.4 f                    +60
30 mins        76.3 f                    +13
60 mins        77.2 f                    + 7
100 mins      78.3 f                    + 2

I did not transmit during this time so there is no heat other
than by the operation and rx components.
