I just did a freq. calibration of my K3. with the dial set to 9.999.000 in usb for wwv at 10 mhz, that gave me a 1 khz tone that I sent to the computer using Spectran that will show the freq of the audio. I was able to set thr REF CAL in the K3 to be within .03 cycle of dead beat. I calibrated my Xtal reference osc dead beat with wwv. and then set the K3 to 6 meters , dial set to 49.999.000 to give a 1 khz tone and checked the 5 harmonic of the xtal osc. and found that the K3 was only off 8.68 cycles. due to the fact I was using the 5th harmonic of the xtal osc there is some small error. I did a freq drift check before doing the above and found my K3 had a drift of only 8.5 cycles over a 2 hour warm up.....
to me this is darn good...
