I'd also suggest an analogue volt meter, as they are generally better
when adjusting for minimum and maximum voltages.
And, although rather obvious, an antenna able to receive a transmission
with good frequency accuracy.
I used the Elecraft noise generator, a dummy load, a digital
For calibrating the dial frequency, a second AM SW receiver is helpful. Tune it
in to WWV, then tune the K2 into WWV until the tones match exactly (zero
beat), then run the calibration procedures. That will get you close enough
that the K2's DACs become the limiting factor.

What test equipment is needed to accurately perform the alignment
and proper tuning of a used K1 or K2 ?
I'm not looking for minimum recommendations nor NIST-Traceable
recommendations; just what is needed to make sure they are up to
spec or up to speed for the guy who wants to enjoy what they
Doug,
This is the proper list for such questions.
A dummy load and a DMM are sufficient - just follow the instructions in
the manual. The K1 and the K2 both include provisions for reading the
internal frequencies as well as other built-in tools.
Of course there are other tools that can be
