[Elecraft] K2 Frequency adjustment

[Don Wilhelm]

Nick,

For detailed instructions for achieving accurate K2 frequency readout, 
look at my website (http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com) article on K2 Dial 
Calibration.  There are references to other sources of information in 
the article if you need additional information.

You may use any station that has a known frequency when setting C22. 
The method for accurately setting C22 is in my article and also at the 
Elecraft website Builder's Resource page.

Remember, the required order of things is:
1) Adjust C22 accurately
2) Run CAL PLL
3) Run CAL FIL and 'change' each BFO to force a write to EEPROM
Changing the order of events will not produce the desired results.


73,
