[Elecraft] K3 drift

[Bruce McLaughlin]

I have noticed no drift with my K-3.  I would think that if the ambient temperature did have any effect it would have to be a lot colder than 55.

During the past week I have noticed my K3 drifting during the first 20 seconds after power up. I hadn’t noticed this previously in my three month old K3 (SN 1672), so I’m wondering if this is normal? With winter here it is colder in my basement shack (maybe down 55 F), so perhaps that could explain the drift.

I haven't measured the drift, but definitely have not noticed it in the past.

Does anyone else observe this drift? Is this normal during warmup?
