Indeed! The huge gulf between "precision" and "accuracy." A display with gobs of decimal places can be colossally but precisely wrong. It is also true that frequencies that end in .000 are "better" for many people so I avoid them when looking for a run frequency. [:-) This problem on 6 met

You say RIT is not engaged, but what about XIT? Either of these being ON can cause an issue in this regard.Additionally, the way one person tunes to a SSB station may cause some frequency disparity between two stations. Excercise: with eyes closed, tune to a station and then look at the

Ian, Can you receive any station at a known frequency. Here in the US it is easy to use WWV, but other standard frequency stations exist around the world. Tune to the standard frequency station and do the Reference Oscillator Calibration. K3 manual page 50. Use Method 2. I cannot guaran

Have you experienced this on other bands, during casual operating since the rig was returned to you? I find that when I am on SSB, I tune until my ear may likes what I am hearing , and as such, I may not be exactly on their frequency. (that is one reason for RIT!) Also, I have found that s

All, I've been operating a little in the ARRL VHF contest this weekend, on 6m, and I'm having an interesting, and not good, experience. Everyone I try to work is reporting that I'm off frequency by about 500 Hz. I don't have RIT/XIT enabled. My K3, s/n 281, went to Elecraft earlier this year for s
