My suggestion requires a second AM receiver and can get you within
fractions of a Hz. You tune the AM RX to WWV and then you zero beat the
background tone on the K2. Since I'm used to it and have extra SW
receivers, it works well. I think either method, once you practice it,
is a lot easier than you'd think!
