[Elecraft] [KX3] Repeat extended VFO temp. comp. proc.

[Matt VK2RQ]

If you just mucked up refcal right at the end, no need to redo the whole procedure, you just need to set the refcal so that the dial frequency lines up when you tune to a known frequency. I wouldn't recommend to use XG50 -- it is a stable source, but you only know the output frequency approximately. I think you are better off tuning to WWV on SSB on the KX3 and zero-beating against a second receiver tuned to WWV on AM, or maybe use spectrogram on your PC to tune the WWV tones if you don't have a musical ear.
