[Elecraft] K1 zero beating

[Don Wilhelm]

Hank,

It is 'automatic' *after* you set up the K1 correctly.

Follow the instructions on the manual - first align the BFO so the 
center of the FL3 passband is at your preferred CW pitch.  Then move the 
switch on the bottom of the RF Board and adjust the transmit offset 
equal to the same pitch.

After that is done, tune your desired signal to your preferred CW pitch 
tone, then the transmit signal will be correct (and the dial will read 
the transmitted carrier frequency).
