K1 on top of my K2

[wrmoore]

 Just finished my K1 (#2152).  I want to write something about that
experience (a wonderful one!) a bit later, but first I have a question.  I
put my K1 down on top of my K2 (#337) and as I did the receive frequency
shifted down - I'm guessing around 200-300 hz.  Is this normal when bringing
the little K1 close to something metal?  Otherwise, everything seems to be
working fine.  Still have the build the KAT1 and get it going.

73,
Randy, KS4L

Randy:
If you stop and think about it the K2 has it's speaker mounted under
the top cover.  The speaker has a magnet in it and when you place the
little K1 directly on top of the K2 the magnetic field from the K2's
internal speaker effects the inductors used in the K1's VFO circuit
causing a slight shift in frequency.
