[Elecraft] K144XV + K144RFLK issue

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

Simon,

Do you have another 2m receiver, or know somebody who can receive the 
beacon, to check whether or not the beacon's frequency is jumping.   If the 
beacon's transmitter is crystal controlled with the crystal in an oven, the 
jumps in frequency you hear could be due to the beacon not your K144XV. 
Been there :-)
