Did it with well aligned and checked K3 in CW mode plus external frequency counter. Transmit on K2, receive on K3 tuned to the same pitch as set in the menu. Then TX on the K3 RX on K2. TX frequency in both cases checked by the external counter. TX frequency is always higher then RX. The worst case is on 28 MHZ where it is 260 Hz. Do you have any ideas Don?
