using a freq standard for the K1

Lloyd Lachow
   I have a frequency standard by W8DIZ that generates
a signal at 10MHz, 5MHz and 2.5 MHz.  Is there a way
to use this for accurate calibration of the receiver
in a 20/40M K1?

Only if it has  locked multivibrator circuitry in it to give you precision markers
at 100 Khz intervals.  Better yet 10 and 1 khz intervals.  Usually it is easy to add
a 'divide by 10' circuit externally using a common CMOS chip to get 1 mhz markers.
Add another one after that and get 100 khz markers, which will prove usually
quite adequate.
