[Elecraft] K3 bad TX

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

Toni,

Do I understand correctly that the transmitter spur is always about 7 kHz 
away from your actual frequency, regardless of what your actual frequency 
might be? Or does the spacing change when you change the actual frequency by 
say 10 kHz?

73,
