[Elecraft] Why is my K3 off frequency?

Probably a good time to remind newcomers . . .
Calibration aside, stations checking into nets should always zero-beat
the Net Control Station regardless of where he is on the dial and
regardless of the net's published frequency.
Last week the NCS of the 75-meter Interstate Sideband Net parked himself
several kilohertz below the published frequency in order to escape QRM.
As the net control station that was his prerogative and his
responsibility. Most participants followed suit, but several stations
insisted on transmitting on the published frequency and then complained
that the NCS was off-frequency. In truth, the NCS is never
off-frequency. He IS the net frequency. Accurately zero-beating the
NCS is even more critical on CW nets where conditions often mandate
narrow filters.
