Hi,

I just finished my kit and I seem to have some difficulty determining if the ref. osc. is calibrated correctly.  I am using an off air signal (wwv).  I can hear the monitor tone and then another one that gets lower in pitch as I turn vfo a.  But i can never hear a "zero beat".  The frequency as set is 49,381,650.  Is this ok?
Can I use instead an MFJ-259B antenna analyser that can be used as a frequency counter? or a scope?

Thanks
