Clarification needed. Are you saying that the transmit frequency is not the
same as the receive frequency? Or are you saying that the displayed
frequency is not the frequency being transmitted and received? Do check
to see that RIT and XIT are both off and not displayed as RIT +0000 or XIT
+0000. If you are finding that the transmit frequency is not the same as
the received frequency, I suggest a Master Reset be initiated. That may
resolve the issue. Also what version of firmware is installed?
How does the display compare when tuned to WWV at 10 MHz.? I suggest for a
WWV check, tune the radio to the WWV signal in LSB mode and then switch to
USB mode while making no other change. You should be able to find a
frequency by adjusting the VFO tuning in 1 Hz steps such when switching
between USB and LSB there is no apparent sound change in the received WWV
signal. In checking my Omni VII this morning I find a +6 Hz error on the
5.0 MHz WWV signal. The error of +12 Hz exists on the 10 MHz WWV signal.
Propagation is not available at present for the 2.5 MHz nor the 15 MHz WWV
signal but I would expect the find the error be mathematically related to
the respective frequency. I've not checked nor calibrated my radio in some
3 years so some normal crystal aging has taken place as expected.

Subject: [TenTec] Omni VII Question
I have occasionally been told my transmit frequency appears not to agree
with my
VFO display. Thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated since I am
not
sure what to think or believe.
I know this has been discussed before, so I apologize for using the band
width.
