All good advice BUT ... before you do anything, look up Wayne's RefCal
procedure on the Elecraft site. I think Don, W3FPR, may also have it.
It's not hard, you just have to go slowly and be very meticulous at each
step. I have my K3 #642 within 1 Hz of WWV, and it stays there. It's a
fun adjustment too because there are very few things we can adjust to
within 1 part per 10 million and no test equipment. [:=)

Look in the manual for Ref Cal calibration. But before you go Messing there,
tune radio to WWV on 10.000, 15.000 or 20.000 MHz and see if it’s really you or
the other guy that’s off.
Now check for procedure. The zero beat works well and can get you within a
Hertz or two

Hi Guys,
My K3 receiver is a little off frequency compared to the frequency stations are
spotted at. I realize that Packet Spots aren't always posted on frequency, but
after viewing thousands of Spots which were posted by dozens of different sources,
on average the actual frequency the station is received at averages 0.2 khz higher
on the band then where it was spotted. I'm wondering what options are available
for adjusting the K3 receiver frequency? Is there a receiver frequency adjustment
within the K3 Utility? Thanks & 73, Dick- K9OM
