[Elecraft] Transverter calibration

Hi Don.

I just got back from 'experimenting'!

I turned the Reflock off and manually set the offsets according to the 
figures on the Xverter top.

With the Reflock still turned off, the discrepancy is several KHz (I did not 
note the exact figures).

With the Reflock turned back on, the discrepancy is back to around 200 Hz 
and there's no way to manually adjust that in software.

I wonder if the K144XV itself is a tad off? I bought it from another amateur 
so I don't know its 'tweak' history, other than I have never adjusted any of 
it internally.

Alan,

I have not worked with the REFLOCK, but I believe the XV1 OFS parameter
must still be set in the menu.  The REFLOCK cannot read the labels on
the top of the K144XV.
