[Skimmertalk] FW: RBN Freq Shift in WT Bandmap with K3

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Hmmm... of course, spots are never accurate to better than +- 50 Hz 
because of the 0.1 KHz resolution.  Do you have something you can 
compare calibration with?  There was just a thread on the Eklecraft 
reflector about setting calibration, but they are talking Hz, not 
hundreds of Hz. I think John needs to be in touch with Elecraft tech 
support.
