HA! I use both my K3 and my K2 on FT8.
The K3 is pretty rock solid, even on 6m. Yea, a few Hz a few minutes after turning on, especially if you start transmitting from a cold rig. The K2, on the other hand, drifts a LOT more. Start transmitting, and it will eventually shift about 20-50 Hz as it heats up. Yes, I do have the PLL temperature compensation mod installed. Once warmed up, it may drift about 5-10 Hz after that as it heats and cools. Even with this magnitude of drift, FT8 works just fine and it is not a concern. > On Jul 27, 2021, at 10:20 AM, Pete Smith N4ZR <[email protected]> wrote: > > I've just started experimenting with WSJT-X on 6M, and notice that on the > waterfall signals seem to drift slightly over the first 3-4 minutes.
