FWIW - I happened to check my K3 last night - it had been on for a couple
hours and it had drifted off about 4 cycles at 10 mhz from where I set it
about 6 months ago - I have the KTCXO3-1TCXO - that amount of movement is
most likely crystal
aging - the K3 is just over a year old.
I have not done any short term measurements - but I think this topic has
cursed my K3 - or its just coincidence , but I have heard or worked about 4
guys in last week that their tx freq apparently moved about 50 cycles
always up in freq - not a jump - a fast 2 or 3 second drift while they were
transmitting . Never noticed that on anybody until this came up !!! For now
I am gonna ignore it and hope it goes away .
