[Elecraft] K3 dumb Q about PPM, less dumb one about NB

Hi all,

Just refreshing my 6th grade education here: 1 ppm variation at 10 mhz would
be +/- 10 hz correct? I calibrated my K3 ref. osc. again yesterday (against
10mhz WWV) after a warmup of about an hour - this am I turned it on and
checked it against 10mhz WWV and the display read about 6 or maybe 7 hz high
(against my spot tone in CW mode). 

I'm shocked, I tell you shocked... that this thing is off by 6hz when you
first turn it on, what kind of operation is elecraft to let something like
this through...... that'd be approx .6ppm drift right? 

As for the noise blanker question, sorry if this is in the docs, but the NB
on/off state doesn't save when you change bands (tho the settings of it are
changed).  It always turns off when changing bands. Is this configurable?
(i.e. save on/off state of NM per band)?

No, I don' t need Wayne/Eric to change this if this is by design hi hi. Just
curious (and again sorry if this is already in the documentation, which I'm
still reading through).

Tnx es 73,
LS
