TJ, If you are doing it for the first time, give yourself 8 to 12 hours for the whole task. As Alan Wilcox has said, use Specrtrogram for alignment, and become familiar with its use beforehand since you have a "deadline". The use of Spectrogram 5.17 (and its download) is available from Tom Hammond's website www.n0ss.net. Additional information on the use of Spectrogram is in the K2 Dial Calibration article on my website www.w3fpr.com.
Note: if you are running Windows 7, Spectrogram 5.17 will not work - Spectrogram 16 (also freeware) will work fine. If you cannot locate it on-line, drop me a private email and I can send you a Zip file containing it. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/5/2011 1:35 PM, TJ Campie wrote: > How long do you think it should take to complete a KSB2 including tuning and > such?
