[Elecraft] K3- TX off frequency

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Hmmm - I've done the cal quite a few times too - I still get reports  
I'm off freq. - the last cal was done by a knowledgeable friend, using  
a 5MHz ref source (Racal crystal with oven), closely coupled to ANT1  
input and we got the beat to about 2 seconds (a peak every 2 secs or  
so) - I still get reports I'm off freq. - I thought this was me.
will watch this thread with interest.
Any UK K3 owners who 'know' they are well on like to have a sched?
