[Elecraft] K3 drift

[Bill Frantz]

I see this problem running PSK31. My solution is to use the two 
decoder windows in cocoaModem. With the one I'm using for 
transmit, I never change the frequency. I chase the other guy as 
his frequency changes using the other decoder window. If other 
side of the QSO changes tuning to better receive me, my transmit 
frequency will remain the same and I can hope he will not need 
to retune and we can avoid chasing each other across the band. :-)

For SSB, RIT might be a good answer, although you can be a bit 
sloppier in SSB and still understand the other end than you can 
in PSK.
