[Elecraft] K2: squeezing rig causing frequency change...

[Steve Kallal]

I was trying to calibrate the frequency on my K2/100 and noticed that 
the received beat frequency changed when attaching the top cover (the 
KPA100 option). After putting the mounting screws back in, I noticed the 
frequency will again change when squeezing the top and bottom covers 
towards each other with my fingers. The change is about 50 to 100 Hz or so.

Is this normal? Somewhat I don't think so, but hadn't paid attention 
before. I've been monitoring WWV on 10 MHz in CW mode beating against 
the spot tone. There is constant carrier to beat against, and I that's 
how I noticed the beat frequency changed.

In the meanwhile I will tighten everything  down again.
