Glad you found the information of assistance. I suggest a bit longer
warm up than 30 minutes, but for starters, 30 minutes is OK. I usually
go for 1 hr to 2 hrs in a temperature stable environment.
But.......that's just me.

Gentlemen…
Thank you for your help!!
I tried both Bob and Don’s method after letting the K3S warm up for about 30
minutes tuned into a SW broadcast.
After using Bob’s CWT method on 20 Mhz (conditions finally improved enough to
get a good S9+ signal), I could tune to any strong broadcast signal and use the
CWT and SPOT function and the frequency display would be perfect. Tuning 50 Hz
away – either side – and pressing SPOT would bring the frequency back to the
correct frequency.
I tried Don’s method using. I regularly check my soundcard calibration using
FLDIGI’s method. I’m using the Timewave PK-232sc+ for a soundcard. It is very
stable – checking it today it required no tweaking. After running the spectrum
analyzer, the tuning was dead-on as far as the waterfall showed.
Both great ideas!!!! Thanks again for all of the replies. I learned more
about my radio today!
