[Elecraft] K2: Transmitting a little low

I wouldn't go solely on the word of an off-air report about being off 
frequency. The only way to be sure is to measure your transmit frequency. If 
the radio of the other operator was 50Hz high and you are 50Hz low, they may 
report you are off by 100Hz.

It doesn't hurt to double check the calibration of your radio if you have any 
doubts. In the case of the K2, you may only get accuracy to +/- 20 Hz or so 
anyway.

People are getting too spoiled by digital readouts and expecting absolute dead 
on accuracy of transmitted frequency.
