[Elecraft] K1 Internally Generated Signal

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

The K1 actually counts the VFO frequency, so if you have calibrated the 
CAL OPF frequency to the ARRL broadcasts, you should be good for that 
entire band.
The unfortunate part is that the ARRL broadcasts may not be exactly on 
the published frequencies, so do a double check several days running to 
be certain things are 'constant'.
