Re: [Elecraft] Frequency Counter for Calibrating K3S

It is my opinion that the K3s rates the use of a proper quality frequency counter. I bought a used, "lab grade" counter with an OXCO, and supply it with an external GPSDO signal. Is it required? No, not really I initially calibrated the K3s with one of the government time beacons... not

You can also use CHU for frequency standard calibration check depending on propagation. 3330.000, 7850.000, and 14670.000kHz   73, Mike AC5P On Saturday, February 11, 2017 12:20 PM, John Stengrevics wrote: Thanks all for the comments. I think I will stick

Re: [Elecraft] Frequency Counter for Calibrating K3S

John, You do not need a frequency counter to calibrate the K3S, use Method 2 with WWV, it is just as accurate. Actually it is likely more accurate than you would get with a <$100 frequency counter, unless you calibrate the frequency counter beforehand. I suspect any frequency counter costing

I think you would do much better getting something like a used Racal-Dana 1992 or the like of of ebay with the crystal oven. From: stengrevics To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Saturday, February 11, 2017 12:39 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Frequency Counter

Re: [Elecraft] Frequency Counter for Calibrating K3S

Frequency counters will also need to be calibrated. I have been quite happy using WWV with my K3, and you can't beat the price. 73 Bill AE6JV On 2/11/17 at 9:39 AM, jstengrev...@comcast.net (stengrevics) wrote: I am considering buying a frequency counter to calibrate my K3S. I see that

Re: [Elecraft] Frequency Counter for Calibrating K3S

What? I didn’t know that Elecraft offered frequency counters. Or, do you mean something like the XG2, a signal source for testing rigs? 73, phil, K7PEH > On Feb 11, 2017, at 9:39 AM, stengrevics wrote: > > I am considering buying a frequency counter to calibrate
