[TenTec] Omni VI frequency error - problem solved

[Steve Hunt]

Marinus,

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that method wont guarantee 
the separate accuracies of the Local oscillator and the BFO. For 
example, if the LO was out by 100Hz and the BFO was also out by 100Hz it 
would still zero-beat OK.

I could probably zero-beat with known-frequency stations across several 
bands, and that way distinguish BFO errors from LO errors. BFO errors 
would remain fixed, whilst LO errors would vary with frequency. But it 
would still be useful to have a frequency reference in the shack that I 
could trust.

73,
Steve G3TXQ
