[Elecraft] setting KPA 100 page 48 problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Christophe,

Tune the K2 to 7100kHz
Then plug the internal counter probe into TP1 and the P6 header on the 
Control Board.
Enter the menu to CAL FCTR and hold EDIT
The frequency will be seen in the K2 display.

You could alternately use an external frequency counter to read the 
frequency at TP1.

73,
Don W3FPR
