RIT drops receive frequency 600 Hz HELP

[Djwilcox01]

I have a K2 that when I activate the RIT the received frequency drops 600  
Hz, too low to tune back to the frequency of the VFO so the contact is  lost.  
The only way that the RIT is on frequency with the VFO A is to turn  the RIT on
before beginning the contact.  Then everything is as it should  be…..  Any
suggestions?  I don’t see anything in the manual to explain  how to adjust the
RIT or center it on the VFO frequency.
 
Please respond direct at [e-mail]_ (mailto:[hidden email])  
 
Thanks and 72,
 
Dave

Dave,

On the K2 the way to center the RIT is to remove the knob, turn the
shaft until the frequency difference between RIT ON and OFF is zero,
then replace the knob with the pointer straight up (with care not to
move the shaft when installing the knob).
