[Elecraft] [K2]Crystal filters

[R. Kevin Stover]

Hello David,

No, as far as I can tell the alignment of the K2 doesn't drift at all. 
The annual alignment is just my way doing preventative maintenance and 
staying on top of things before a problem does rear it's ugly head.

This year I discovered some dust in the rig. I think it's caused by the 
two 80mm computer case fans I've got on the KPA100 heat sink. They draw 
air across the sink and exhaust straight up. Some canned air and a fine 
brush and she's cleaned.

Never would have found that if I didn't open the case up once a year. 
While I've got it open I just check stuff.
