[Elecraft] Freq. offset?? -- K3

[Clay Autery]

I've found that my K3s takes about 35 minutes to become essentially
stable (TXCO)....  P3 stabilizes a bit faster.  IMHO it is important to
CAL both pieces of equipment under the same conditions at the same time
or as close to it as you can...
Also important IMO to not have the HVAC cycling on and off while you are
doing the REF CALs...

73,
