[Elecraft] used K2 Alignment

[Don Wilhelm]

The N6KR method for accurately setting the 4 MHz reference oscillator is 
very accurate because it compensates for all variables except for any 
error in tuning to WWV (or other standard frequency station).
I use Spectrogram to show me when the 500 or 600 Hz tones are being 
received at the right audio frequency - and also the once per minute 
1000 Hz tone.  Those with perfect pitch can do it by ear, but I do not 
count as one of those fortunate people.  Choose 15 MHz WWV over 10 MHz 
for reduced error - the sunspot cycle has improved to the point where I 
now can reliably receive 15 MHz WWV at my QTH.

You can see the entire procedure on my website www.w3fpr.com.  Just look 
in the left column for the K2 Dial Calibration article.
