[Elecraft] Auto-spot, tuning aids, and the arcane history of CW pitch-matching

You should be subscribed to Timenuts.

But clearly one of us is confused. If you're using an OCXO in your transverter 
and up converting the K3, how does K3 drift/inaccuracy "compound" at UHF?

Can you read that watch to 50 ms?  What are you going to do when WWVB goes QRT?
