[Elecraft] Frequency counters for Alignment

[Don Wilhelm]

Ron and all,

That is especially true with the K2.  Attempting to obtain dial calibration
of greater than 20 Hz is an effort in frustration and futility.  That is
close to the limit imposed by the digitizing resolution of the K2.  Even the
tuning steps are 10 Hz, so it is impossible to get any closer than that
limit.

73,
Don W3FPR
