[Elecraft] Frequency display on P3?

The P3 has a menu entry to calibrate its frequency  MENU:Ref Cal 

The calibration prodedure is on page 37 of the manual.  I like to use an
AM broadcast station (preferably near the top of the band) for
calibration because these frequencies are highly accurate and AM mode
puts the carrier right at the center of the P3 display.
