Although I haven't changed the TCXO settings, after a very short warmup period, my K3 stays within 1.5 Hz or less, mostly within about 1/2 Hz with the main source of errors being what I assume are integer rounding errors in the frequency generation chain which shouldn't be affected by the auto temperature correction.; I have difficulty seeing this as a real issue but maybe I'm just lucky. I have memory settings so that I can quickly check 2.5, 5. 10, 15, and 20 MHz frequency standards and I'm close enough to WWV to not receive it by sky wave so multipath errors aren't a factor.
My apologies if this offends you but as far as I'm concerned, this is another topic in the "Much Ado About Nothing" category. 73, Dunc, W5DC Radio Amateur N5GE wrote: > On Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:07:58 -0700 (PDT), "Leigh L.
