[Elecraft] K3 Receiver frequency adjustment

[Fred Jensen]

All good advice BUT ... before you do anything, look up Wayne's RefCal 
procedure on the Elecraft site. I think Don, W3FPR, may also have it.  
It's not hard, you just have to go slowly and be very meticulous at each 
step.  I have my K3 #642 within 1 Hz of WWV, and it stays there.  It's a 
fun adjustment too because there are very few things we can adjust to 
within 1 part per 10 million and no test equipment. [:=)

I realize that Packet Spots aren't always posted on frequency, but after viewing thousands of Spots which were posted by dozens of different sources, on average the actual frequency the station is received at averages 0.2 khz higher on the band then where it was spotted.  I'm wondering what options are available for adjusting the K3 receiver frequency?  Is there a receiver frequency adjustment within the K3 Utility? Thanks & 73, Dick- K9OM
