Hello! I'm a complete newby when it comes to ham radio. Got my tech license a couple of weeks ago and I'm now studying for the General class exam. I thought building the K3 would be a good educational experience for me.
I just finished assembly and all went well. I've had an excellent experience so far. But I'm stuck at the reference oscillator calibration stage. I don't have a frequency counter, though I suppose I could purchase one. I've tried hitting the frequencies for WWV but I'm not picking anything up. Of course, I don't have an antenna yet as the manual did not mention it as being a required piece of equipment. I'm short on radio sense, I think. I have one on order, but it has not yet arrived. I was hoping to have the K3 calibrated and then begin dealing with the antenna setup. Is there any other way of calibrating the ref oscillator? Can it be done online with the KUSB? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for your help, Jay ______________________________________________________________ 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
