[Elecraft] K2, freq calibration error, solved !

[pc5m, Carel]

Finally my lasting K2 frequency calibration issue is solved !

 

Although no errors could be found (all data ok) my K2 has been of frequency
for approx. 1 KHz.

Only thing was the PLL reference frequency. The range was ok (10 KHz) but
just a bit low, 12.095 MHz max. After changing the Xtal and redo the
calibration my readout is now perfect (max PLL freq is now approx. 12.099
MHz, range 10 KHz)

 

As I didn't found any pointers showing a relation between the actual (max)
PLL frequency and a slightly off dial calibration, it might be good to put
this phenomena to the FAQ/known errors-issues database.

and of course Elecraft for the splendid part replacement service.
