[Elecraft] Transmit audio frequency shift on USB?

[Don Wilhelm]

Torrey,

Turn the manual to the Calibration section and do (or re-do) the 
Reference Oscillator calibration.
Use Method 2 and be certain you are zero-beating with the carrier and 
not one of the transmitted tones.

After that, run your on-the-air test with another ham who is familiar 
with your voice face to face.  Someone that you only know over the air 
will only be able to tell you what they *think* you should sound like, 
and that may be different than reality.
