K3S RIT Problem

stengrevics
I seem to be reading signals about 800 Hz high.

I have cleared RIT.   I suspect I have hit some other setting by mistake.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 Is your REF CAL adjusted correctly?

Just to check, I suggest going to WWV at 10 MHZ and in CW mode and press
SPOT.  That will automatically lock to the WWV carrier and your selected
sidetone frequency.   No audio or zero beating needed.    If indeed your
radio is off 800 Hz then the SPOT function will not bring it in and
lock.   If it is 100 Hz or less usually SPOT will bring it in.   When it
locks it will show the frequency and you can then know exactly what the
error is referenced to WWV.    Should be able to have an accuracy of +/-
1 Hz using this method.   If it is greater than this, I suggest tweaking
your REF CAL value a few Hz up or down as needed.
