Trying to set the freq cal for the reference using method 2 since I do not
have a freq counter.  I may be tone deaf or something but I am not sure what
the beat-freq sounds like.  Wish someone would post or send a sound file
demonstrating the beat freq when off, close and good sounds like.  I tried
setting it on 15mhz and thought I was close but when listening to WWV on
10mhz had to go down 300 hz to understand the voice transmission.  Also
15mhz voice was "fuzzy" until I tuned off freq about 100hz.  Guess I am
confused at this point.  I do understand that this really just adjusts vfo's
so when at band edges I do not go out of band.  However when using DX spots
with N3FJP auto tune clicks I am off freq.  Have to dial around to get clear
signal so if I don't then they do not hear my calls well.  Am sending this
message to K3 support a well but appreciate any responses from the
community.
