[Elecraft] k1

[Rick Lloyd]

Ron,

I recently completed a K1 and mine drifts for the first minute or so..then is stable.

I wasn't surprised when it did. I just turn it on while I am getting things hooked up and arranged and by that time it's pretty much rock solid.

Ron,

I would expect something of that nature to happen.
If you look at the specifications, drift in the first 5 minutes after 
power on is *not* specified.  It is less than 200 Hz per hour after that 
first 5 minute warm up.
