Knut,

Thank you for your suggestion.  As mentioned in my email about the best I can do with Method 2 is about +/20 hz.  I've tried it numerous times.  When adjusting the frequency I hear a dead spot 25-40+ hz wide that has no womp-womp-womp.  I take half of the width and set the frequency there.  Spend 20+ years around aircraft and very noisy missile sources in the Air Force 30-50 years ago.  I had rather buy more radios/accessories than pay $6-10,000 for a set of hearing aides.

Happy new year,  73

Hi,

Using method 2 you should easily be able to get it within a couple of Hz by beating it against the CW spotting tone. The instructions in the manual are quite detailed
