[Elecraft] 6m off-frequency

[Don Wilhelm]

Ian,

Can you receive any station at a known frequency.  Here in the US it is 
easy to use WWV, but other standard frequency stations exist around the 
world.

Tune to the standard frequency station and do the Reference Oscillator 
Calibration.  K3 manual page 50.  Use Method 2.

I cannot guarantee it will fix the problem, but it is the first thing to 
try.
