[Elecraft] K3 bad TX

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

Just checked here.  At 14020kHz and 14120kHz the spur remained 
approx 6.33kHz away.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO

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?
