Who, me? :-)  No difficulty here either with the K2's 100Hz tuning steps. An 
audio monitor does or should tell you if the mic or something else in the 
Tx's AF has fallen apart if you are not looking at the Tx power output meter 
while transmitting. Checking / adjusting is a different story and I agree 
with you, I use a little direct conversion receiver with recorder for that 
purpose.
