HA! I use both my K3 and my K2 on FT8. The K3 is pretty rock solid, even on 6m. Yea, a few Hz a few minutes after turning on, especially if you start transmitting from a cold rig. The K2, on the other hand, drifts a LOT more. Start transmitting, and it will eventually shift about 20-50 Hz as

Dunno why but is the P3 figure that is drifting, not the radio. Stay there and you will see the figure going left and at last stabilize, but the signal (audio and frequency) and the radio will remain exactly there. Happen only one time with a switch on from cold, after will never happen. A

I've just started experimenting with WSJT-X on 6M, and notice that on the waterfall signals seem to drift slightly over the first 3-4 minutes.  It's a matter of just a few Hz, and seems to stop after that - I'm just wondering if this is normal or reason for any concern. -- 73, Pete N4ZR Check
