Hi, I was catching up on my reading and in going through the October issue of QST I found interest in the article which gave a history of transmitters, receivers, VFO's, transceivers, RIT, XIT, etc. It was pretty neat to see about 30 or 40 years of evolution on one page.
As I was reading, I developed an operating question in my mind, and I hope you don't mind if I pose it here, its probably pretty basic. I use a K2 as my primary rig (I guess this is not OT, after all --hi) and it is very stable, no complaints here. My question has to do with the instance where the station I am working is drifting (obviously he doesn't have Elecraft rig!). If this happens, should I move my vfo frequency to chase him, or should I continue to transmit on the same frequency and use the RIT to hear him? I guess another way to say this is, if his transmitted signal is drifting, is his receive signal also drifting and is so, by the same amount? (Assuming he has a transceiver, of some type and not a separate xmitter and receiver. Thanks for any insights you might provide.
