Colin, While that may work, I have never done it that way and cannot say. I would choose one of two alternate methods. 1) Use Spectrogram to determine that you are receiving a tone at exactly 1000 Hz, then proceed with the N6KR method. 2) Tune the signal on another AM receiver - the tone you hear will be the modulating tone and you can zero-beat the signal received on the K2 to that tone.
