[Skimmertalk] RBN Freq Shift in WT Bandmap with K3

[K1TTT]

Is it JUST on 10m and 15m??  or is it just bigger on 10m and 15m than on
20m??  are you using ALL the skimmers, or have you filtered it down to just
a couple?  Is it related to just a particular skimmer or two maybe??

When I pick skimmer spots off the Wintest bandmap, the returned frequency is
off by 300 to more than 600 cycles on my K3.  This occurs on 15 and 10
meters.  Anyone see anything like this?

28025.0 and the radio goes to 28026.0?  No one has reported anything like
that.  What type of receiver are you using?

so if the frequency is off by less than 100 Hz, there is nothing else you
can do.

Is this the right forum to ask the question?
