[TenTec] Argo V calibration

[wa3fiy at radioadv.com]

Hi Ray,

I've not had that problem with my Argonaut V but I did  improve the 
calibration on my Pegasus a while back.  I suspect the situation is very 
similar.

It sounds like the TCXO is off a little bit.   In the case of my Pegasus, I 
tweaked the TCXO trimmer and put the radio right on frequency.  In fact, 
this morning I checked it as I do from time to time and it is still within 2 hz at 
10 Mhz (WWV).   Not too bad.   The Argonaut should be able to get 
somewhere in that range too I would think.  

Hmmm.................?   Maybe I'll check out the Argonaut just for the fun  of it.

:-)

73,
