Carlos, you are welcome. I do not know if the 509 has a socket for a
calibrator circuit board that you can activate from the front panel, but if
it does then the circuit board from the 206 may be identical to that
designed for the 509.
Others may be able to provide you with more information.
73, Mike N4NT

There is a padder capacitor in the 206 calibrator to set the crystal at

precise frequency.
You can probably use your Argonaut 509 to tune radio WWV on either 10
MHz or
15 MHz as follows:
------------------------------------------
How to receive WWV on 15 MHz.
1. Set Band Switch to 21.0 MHz.
2. Rotate main tuning dial so that the frequency readout is 21.000 MHz.
3. Tune the RESONATE control to the image frequency located fully CCW
(between the 3.5 and 7.0 markings).
4. If WWV is not heard, tune around this frequency a bit until it is
received, providing that the band is open.
5. Zero beat the WWV signal with the 206 calibrator.
To Receive the 10 MHz WWV signal, use the same procedure, but tune to
the
image on the 28.0 MHz band. Frequency readout will be 28.0000 at the
point
of WWV reception. Since 10 ! MHz cannot be fully peaked with the
RESONATE
control, it requires that this control be set FULLY CCW and that a
stronger
signal be present at the antenna terminals than the 15 MHz signal.
