I have followed the calibration procedure in the manual (WWV as I don’t have a frequency generator). On 50 MHz, I am spot on. However, on 2 meters, I am off by 1 KHz.
I have recently replaced the TCXO, so I don’t believe that is the cause. Any suggestions as to how I can get 2 meters to agree? 73, John WA1EAZ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

To agree with what, and how do you know it's right? It would help if you explained more precisely what you did. I'm guessing you used 15 MHz WWV, but then what are you doing on 50 and 144 MHz to measure? Did you measure 28 MHz? What are you measuring against? How is that calibrated, and how do you know it is correct? (Also, I am unclear on how the 144 Mhz option works, but that's important to understand.) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
See XNn OFS on page 68 of the manual. This compensates fro
oscillator/multiplier errors. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 8/9/2019 7:55 AM, Greg Troxel wrote: > John Stengrevics <[hidden email]> writes: > >> I have followed the calibration procedure in the manual (WWV as I >> don’t have a frequency generator).
