[Elecraft] 2 M Transverter Stabliization

[David Pratt]

As far as I know, Chuck, Wayne has this in hand.

My own K144XV is unusable because of the amount of frequency drift I am 
getting.  If I do use my K144XV I find that I am repeatedly having to 
apologise for Elecraft. It drifts almost 100Hz for every 5 minutes I 
transmit. This might be okay for FM, but certainly not for other modes.
