[Amps] Millen dipper

[Floyd Sense]

An interesting question.  I bought a nice one last year, only to find out 
that the dial calibration was off by 500 KHz at 10 MHz.  When I asked the 
remaining person at Millen about the calibration procedure, you'd think I 
was asking for the family jewels.  When I asked a question about calibrating 
it myself on one of the eHam forums, I was chastised for not knowing that it 
"wasn't a frequency counter" and could not be expected to be accurate.  At 
that point, I sold the damned thing to someone who was looking for a "shelf 
queen" and bought a Kenwood DM-81.  It's dial was accurate to 50 KHz at 10 
MHz.  The Kenwood is superior in all ways to the Millen and I guess that's 
to be expected with the difference in technology.  I wonder how accurate the 
Millens were when new.
