[Elecraft] Why is my K3 off frequency?

[Wes]

Took the words right out of my mouth. And how does a NCS know check-ins are off 
frequency, especially if it's a YL?

How does one zero beat a suppressed carrier single sideband phone signal?  I just tune until the voice sounds like I think the voice should sound like.  It is very subjective and I certainly can't tune to less than 12 Hz error.
