[Elecraft] P3 drift

[Gary Smith]

Hi Vic,

I do have the .5 TXCO but also have the 
ref board attached and a GPSDO which 
updates constantly and the software I use, 
NMEATime 2 updates the computer time every 
minute to 6 digits out.

That said, the K3 is always dead on but as 
to the P3, I never have noticed the P3 
doing anything but keep right in line with 
the K3s frequency. I never see any 
drifting when it is cold & just starting 
up.

Might it be your radio drifting for a few 
minutes till it warms that you're seeing? 

73,

Gary
