[Elecraft] Problem with Elecraft's built in 2 meter receiver

IIRC, when I installed mine I had to touch up the offsets a bit to get good
audio. Now it sounds good transmit and receive. Got the counter out and
touched up the HF freq, then did the 2 meter. Keyed up into dummy load and
dialed in the frequency that was on the display by changing the offset.
