[Elecraft] K2 PLL Temp Compensation adjustment

I want to fine tune the temp compensation by adjusting the resistor RA,
currently at 33k and would like to confirm my thinking before starting.
My K2/100 drifts down about 50Hz  after 30 minutes from turn on and
stabilizes.   After a good period of transmitting which gets the fan on high
it will drift down another 40 to 50Hz.  The PLL range is 13.26kHz

The uncompensated oscillator drifts down with a temperature increase
therefore I need to further increase the compensation.     To achieve this I
need to decrease the value of RA.   Perhaps 27k or 22k?  Have I got this
right?
