Example - When vfo is on 14.300 it will say 14.300.05
when I use rit.

The kit comes with a RIT Centering tool. It looks very similar to an allen
key <g>.

Center the rit (by ear), loosen the set-screw, align the index hash at 12
O'clock, and tighten the set-screw.

Dan and all,

There is a more certain method of centering the RIT than 'by ear'.  Watch
the display while turning the RIT on and off, when the two frequencies
agree, it is centered.
You don't need to repeatedly turn RIT on and off to do that either - just
look at the frequency with RIT off and turn RIT on and adjust for the same
frequency on the display.

After doing that, one may want to loosen the knob and turn it a bit if the
real center point is not lined up with the panel marking.

73,
Don W3FPR

I am experiencing a problem when trying to use TRN2 or TRN3. When I set the
RF frequency to 144 MHz via the menu. The displayed frequency is 130 MHz.
Neither TRN2 or TRN3 work on TX or RX

Both my XV50 and XV144 work fine on TRN1

Any help is greatly appreciated

Gregg
