[Elecraft] KX2 Drift During Field Day

[Ian Kahn]

Richard,

Drift was seen on the KX2 digital display, and indicated by concomitant
very mild audio distortion from being slightly off frequency.

I am perfectly willing to accept that I may have just been getting a small
bit of RFI, but was just curious if anyone else has seen this behavior
before.

Thanks and 73,

Ian, NV4C
