Fw: K3 Drift

HP
FWIW - I happened to check my  K3 last night  - it had been on for a couple
hours  and it had drifted off about 4 cycles at 10 mhz  from where I set it
about 6 months ago - I have the  KTCXO3-1TCXO  - that amount of movement is
most likely crystal
aging - the K3 is just over a year old.

I have not done any short term measurements - but I think this topic has
cursed my K3 - or its just coincidence  , but I have heard or worked about 4
guys in last week that their tx  freq apparently moved about 50 cycles
always up in freq - not a jump - a fast 2 or 3 second  drift while they were
transmitting . Never noticed that on anybody until this came up !!!  For now
I am gonna ignore it and hope it goes away .
