[Elecraft] KX3-2M CW Drift

[Wayne Burdick]

I strongly recommend doing the temperature compensation. On 6 meters this will leave you something like just +/- 3 Hz of "hunting."

It has an unsable warble back and forth slowly +/- ~10 HZ or so.  Is this the natural drift of the 2M unit I'm seeing here?  If so I'm assuming that's as good as it gets.
