[Elecraft] Transverter XV144 way off frequency

[Bob KD7YZ]

My K3 has an external "Leo Bodnar" reference [REF * CAL]   . Thus the K3
is accurate for my EME and MSK144/FT8 adventures on 2m.

Except: I discovered that the XV144 is not synced with anything.
The K3 Menu/Config DOES allow for "XV1 OFS", and knob turning, to set in
a "Calibration" value.

As I do not have the luxury of a bench of accurate test and calibration
equipment, I am unable to get the XV1 to get and remain near to accracy.

Some friends told me they "Thought" that the XV144, external
Transverter, does have the option for an external GPS REFLOCK as the K3 has.

Calls to Elecraft revealed, other than friendly people, that there is no
way they know to REFLOCK the XV144 ..

So List people, figuring I do not want to calibrate every day, how are
you users of XV144 keeping your other friends from naggin you every day
and every time you call CQ on MSK144 ??


Hoping Don, W3FPR,  will have some time after hectic daily Dayton
HamFest schedule to answer too.
