[TenTec] Omni VI Mystery

[Steve Hunt]

Jim,

By "listening in" directly to the BFO signals at 9MHz you are 
independent of all the sidetone and XIT offset processing that goes on 
in the microprocessor. The BFO oscillator is completely free-running and 
not under any control from the microprocessor.

So your measurements were still valid no matter what those settings.
