The K1 manual makes a very, very brief mention of using an internally
generated signal to calibrate the receiver. It seems to indicate this signal
is at "99.7". With an antenna disconnected I hear a carrier that is
definitely in the neighborhood of "99.7" on 40, 20, and 15M, but on 30M I
don't hear
I didn't get any responses to this question last week so I'm going to try it
one more time:

Craig,
After reading your note I checked my K1. There is a signal in the vicinity of xx99.7 -
*but* when I 'CAL' to set that signal at 99.7 my freq indication is off. It looks like
one or two things may be happening:
1) the signal should not be set at 99.7 but rather at 99.7 minus the offse
The "calibration signal" if one can call it that, is a harmonic of the crystal
oscillator for the MPU on the front panel board. The nominal frequency of that
crystal is 4000 kHz, but the circuit has been purposefully designed to actually
oscillate lower in frequency. Most I've heard of seem to

Mike and all,
On a properly aligned K1 or K2, the display WILL be the frequency to be
transmitted.
Not to belabor the point (and perhaps we are really saying the same thing in
different words but not understanding each other), but when one hears a 600
Hz tone from a CW signal, the 'receiver frequ

Don,
This is not true for the K1. The K1 operating frequency display is not as
smart or foolproof as that of the K2.
In the K1, *only* the base VFO frequency (ranging from about 3.1 to 2.9 MHz
