A variation on #1 is to start watching the S meter when you get really
close, with AGC set to fast. The response on the K2 seems to be quick
enough that you can see if futter when you get with 10Hz and decide
which is closest. If you are lucky it won't flutter and will slowly
ramp up and down, all at the difference frequency.
