[Elecraft] Help with K3S upgrades

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Glad you found the information of assistance.    I suggest a bit longer 
warm up than 30 minutes, but for starters, 30 minutes is OK.   I usually 
go for 1 hr to 2 hrs in a temperature stable environment.   
But.......that's just me.

Tuning 50 Hz away – either side – and pressing SPOT would bring the frequency back to the correct frequency.

It is very stable – checking it today it required no tweaking.  After running the spectrum analyzer, the tuning was dead-on as far as the waterfall showed.
