Hi Charles, Maybe you’ve done this, but if not, you should do frequency calibration per the manual (p.53 in mine).
This worked well for me until it didn’t. I then had to go to a 10 MHz external source which works well except that my 2 meter transverter is 600 Hz low (all other frequencies are perfect). Tech support provided an adjustment solution for the transverter which is beyond what I can do. Will send it back to Elecraft when my K4 arrives. 73, John WA1EAZ > On Mar 23, 2021, at 8:27 AM, Michael Walker <va...@portcredit.net> wrote: > > If your Net Control station has an accurate enough ear to tell you are 12Hz > off frequency on an SSB net, I would ask him to align it for you. > > On 80M, you may be only off frequency by a few hz. > > 12Hz at 50Mhz is really nothing.
