[Elecraft] Frequency Counter for Calibrating K3S

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

You do not need a frequency counter to calibrate the K3S, use Method 2 
with WWV, it is just as accurate.
Actually it is likely more accurate than you would get with a <$100 
frequency counter, unless you calibrate the frequency counter 
beforehand.  I suspect any frequency counter costing less than $100 is 
either inaccurate or limited to audio frequencies.
