After it is at a stable temp, just change the offset number so it is on 
frequency.
Do this below and above 146.000Mhz as there are two sections in the unit.

Easiest way is to inject an exact 146.0000 signal, set the radio to 
fine, IE 46.00000  go into offset menu and tap SPOT.
Then click down to 45.999999 on the radio and do the other side.
Switch back and forth with the VFO, the tone should stay very close. Set 
the offsets accordingly if needed.

If there is too much drift, then order the OPTIONAL K144XV Reflock board 
(installs inside the K144) and will lock it to the K3's main oscillator, 
which is more stable.
They pulled the RefLock from the website but we did do another small run.
We have 7 in stock currently.
