Hi,



Weird.



I tune my OMNI VI Plus so that I'm on the same frequency as the station I want to work.  Just tune the main tuning knob and listen.  When there, then I transmit.  Works every time and has for 2,000 years or more.



Weird.

     When the "cw" button is pushed you get a sidetone. While holding down 
this button you move your dial until your target's tone is "beating" 
against your sidetone. When you move the dial enough so that your sidetone 
no longer "beats" and the tones are "insync" they become "one". When two 
tones become "one" the tone gets louder. This is "zero beat". Even having 
just "beating" is close enough for govt work.

For many years I have been under the impression that "zero beating" was the 
ethod of beating (hetrodyning) of two frequencies bringing their difference 
own to the audible range and adjusting one to match the frequency of the 
ther so that the two tones beat against each other producing "zero" out.  
hus the term zero beat.  Not a louder tone.
