[Elecraft] K3S RIT Problem

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Just to check, I suggest going to WWV at 10 MHZ and in CW mode and press 
SPOT.  That will automatically lock to the WWV carrier and your selected 
sidetone frequency.   No audio or zero beating needed.    If indeed your 
radio is off 800 Hz then the SPOT function will not bring it in and 
lock.   If it is 100 Hz or less usually SPOT will bring it in.   When it 
locks it will show the frequency and you can then know exactly what the 
error is referenced to WWV.    Should be able to have an accuracy of +/- 
1 Hz using this method.   If it is greater than this, I suggest tweaking 
your REF CAL value a few Hz up or down as needed.
