[Elecraft] Display frequency calibration

[K7WIA]

I use a program called Spectran ( freeware ) which will display the audio
frequency of the output of the K3
I set the Frequency of the K3 to 9999.000 kc   (usb)   this will produce a
1kc tone to the sound card in the computer when tuned to WWV at 10 mhz 

Spectran will then display the frequency of that audio tone on the screen.

I then go into the K3 confg menu to REF CAL and adjust it so that the
display on Spectran is as close to
1000 cycles   ( 1kc )   as possible,
the best I can set the K3 to is with in .27 of a cycle.  it does vary
between 5 mhz, 10 mhz @ 15 mhz though but not that much.
that is close enough for me.

also I find my self tuning in a station so there is a bit more highs to the
sound which will also offset my tnx freq,.... guess I need to use the RIT
more..
fwiw
