[Skimmertalk] Question about posting to the DXWatch RBN using 'agreggator'

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Andy, the correction in the Aggregator is for people using transverters 
or similar devices, typically on 6 or 2 meters.  You may find that it's 
not a good way to correct calibration, because many SDRs (I don't know 
if the SDR-IQ is one) display progressively larger errors in frequency 
unless you make the change in the SDR's clock frequency itself.  For 
example, if you made that adjustment at 14 MHz, it could be too much on 
40, 80 and 160, and too little on 15 and 10.  Better to follow the 
instructions and make the change in the SDR-IQ itself.

73, Pete N4ZR
