Re: [Elecraft] K3 TCXO calibration
Evert, You did not spot the Firmware Notes entry in the Errata sheet. That calibration method is not yet implemented. Use one of the other methods for the time being. 73, Don W3FPR Evert Bakker (PA2KW) wrote: Good day to all, First of all: K3 (812) arrived.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 TCXO calibration
As others noted, that is not yet implemented in firmware. However, you still have 1ppm accuracy. Use method 1 or 2 to set the oscillator on frequency. When it's implemented, method 3 will allow you to get even higher stability by compensating in firmware for the known variation in the 1 ppm TCXO as shown on the compensation data supplied with your 1ppm TCXO. I believe they're shooting for something close to 0.5 ppm. Be sure to save that compensation data in a safe place for later!
