K3 Cal

Chuck,
Using CW and CW reverse is really a good procedure. I have used USB/LSB when WWV was transmitting a tone with the same effect. Your method doesn't require a modulated tone as you are using the actual carrier. The only issue with our calibration procedures is you have to have good pitch hearing and many of the ham radio operatores are tone deaf. For those who are tone deaf use the zero beat method using the side tone in the K3. From now on I will use your method as I don't have to wait for a tone to be transmitted by WWV.
