I want to use my K3 to calibrate the QS1R receiver used here as part of the Reverse Beacon Network. For technical reasons, it's desirable to calibrate the QS1R at as high a frequency as possible, so I wanted to do so in the 6-meter band. I thought that if I knew how accurate the K3's frequency display was at 10 MHz WWV, I'd know whether I needed to compensate for any systematic error when comparing the two up on 6M.
Here's where the problem comes in. AM mode isn't usable for finding zero-beat, of course. On CW, it appears that the zero-beat frequency is displayed as 10 MHz minus the "pitch" frequency (which can only be adjusted down to 300 Hz). I'd like to know the frequency accuracy of the K3 within 20-30 Hz if possible for this exercise. How to proceed? -- 73, Pete N4ZR The World Contest Station Database, updated daily at www.conteststations.com The Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com, spots at telnet.reversebeacon.net, port 7000 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
