[Elecraft] K2 drifting issue

[Eddy]

With the expert help from Gary and Don, I believe I've finally gotten the K2 SSB audio to sound pretty damn good on both LSB and USB.

Thanks again Gary and Don for sticking with me, its been a frustrating journey!!

Next frustration, my particular K2 (Serial 3500+) the reference oscillator doesn't seem to want to stay dead on frequency......the K2 it doesn't drift while on the air, so much as every time I take the time to get it zeroed to WWV a few weeks later it's usually off by several hundred cycles and stays there. I've done this and CAL PLL a few times over the last 10 years, I guess ref osc just doesn't like 4000kc


I built the K2 kit in 2001 and the rig has seen spotty usage until recently (I retired) and gets daily use.


My K2 has the PLL mode as well as latest firmware updates.

Any suggestions? Or, is this as good as it gets with the K2?
