Don,

I suggest you skip that.  First of all, the 100 hZ increments are not 
close enough, and secondly, the exact frequency of the 4 MHz reference 
may end up slightly different than 4 MHz.
Wait until you have fully assembled your K2 and then go to my website 
www.w3fpr.com and do the K2 Dial Calibration procedure - it will put the 
4 MHz reference on the correct frequency and give you correct dial 
calibration.
