Thanks, Don. I'll give that a try and post results here later.

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.
