What are you using it for?

Hi Pete,
The WWV method worked for me until it didn’t. On the advice of one of the K3
gurus, I am now using a Leo Bodnar frequency source. Works great.

I've been wondering for some time if my 10-year-old K3's frequency calibration was off,
because it seemed like most spots of me were well off when I clicked on them, usually in
one direction. Not having a frequency counter, I went to the alternative method outlined
in page 49 of the manual. I thought I did it all "by the book", but found that
when I was done 15-MHz WWV's carrier frequency (determined by zero-beating the carrier)
was almost 400 Hz low. Since I wasn't looking for FMT-level accuracy, I went back to WWV
and adjusted the REF CAL setting by ear until 15.000 on my RX dial was as close to
zero-beat with WWV as I could tell. We'll see how it worked out, but I wonder if I simply
have some fundamental misunderstanding of what's involved. Wouldn't be the first time...
