[Elecraft] SETTING THE K2 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR

[Don Wilhelm]

Al,

The C22 setting does nothing to change the K2 display - you must run CAL 
PLL and CAL FIL (for all filters) before any change in the display takes 
place.  Normally, the reference oscillator only serves as a clock for 
the MCU - the frequency display does not depend on it.

See the K2 Dial Calibration on my website www.w3fpr.com.
If you are using RWM (which transmits only a carrier), you should use 
the method EA3ADV and I developed to use only a carrier instead of the 
transmitted tones such as those from WWV.
