Yes...the tentec wiki is great...still trying to decipher the bit about bypassing the 6 MHz iF as mentioned by w0cca (?)... Got wrap my brain around that as the nb on mine contains no filter per se..

All very good points...I am not all too worried about a few hz either way...and once warmed up, the pto is not bad at all...it is a hobby after all. I remember being on a net one time when an old tim

I have had similar issues for a while..the v9.2 chip is brilliant and I love the rig...but, if I change bands or if I leave the rig off for any length of time, it will be off freq...as though the war
