I have setup Spectogram, and have 500 & 600 Hz markers setup.  I then
set the K2 to 10000.00, in U mode, and adjust the frequency until I have
either 500 or 600 Hz depending on which minute it is (odd minutes being
a 600 Hz tone and even being a 500 Hz tone, even though this seems
backwards of how it should be).

I then used this zero beat reference, and the procedure on page 101 of
the K2 manual so that I have it down to U or L mode is zero beat at
9999.99.

I notice the calibration on page 101 of the K2 manual says to use U or L
mode.  My question, is how much should the offset be when I go to CW
mode?  I am trying to track down why my CW RX frequency is so far from
my USB frequency (was 1500 Hz off at one point). I have it better, but I
am sure the issue is with how I did the alignments.
