I spoke to Paul at Tentec this morning. He suggested I use the 706 to
transmit and see if I hear that signal in the Omni. So, with the 706 tuned
to 14,050.00, on low power and dummy load, I copy with 706 on the Omni at
14,050.70 with a 700 hz. tone. It is zero beat at 14,050.00.
The 706 has a transmit freq, function which shows it transmitting on
14,050.00. If I was at another location and transmitting at 14,050.00 with
the 706, and you heard me using this Omni, your VFO would show 14,050.70.
When you with the Omni, call me, on transceive, the signal is 14,050.00 and
zero beat, so I don't hear it on the 706.
Paul also confirmed that the sidetone setting varies the transmitter
offset, hz for hz, so that when you zero the other signal to the same tone,
the transmitter is zero'd with the other signal.
Paul could do no more without the radio on the bench but suggested I
eventually may want to do a Master Reset. I did a partial reset last
night, with no discernible change.
I'll get on the air later with other stations locally to do some more
testing.
