[TenTec] Eagle and Zero Beating

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Well, I'm not an Eagle expert...

But if this one station is the only one telling you that you are "100 Hz
High" (which sounds pretty petty and picky to me, but what do I know?), then
you have two and only two easy choices:

(1)  The next time you tune him in, set your XIT to 100 Hz below your
frequency.
(2)  Don't work him any longer.

Also, I'd be curious to know if he is saying this only to you, or to others
as well.  Because, if he's saying it to everyone else... it's not your rig
that has a problem.  It's his.  Or, at least, something in the rig/operator
interface, but let's not go there.

73, ron w3wn

I hope some of the Eagle experts out there can help me.(???)
I am tired of running into a certain W6 on CW who keeps telling me I am
100hz high and why can't I zero beat his signal.
I operate CW only and I have been CW only since 1963. No SSB at all. Don't
want to go there.
This guy is telling me I don't know how to operate my gear. I probably could
not hear the 100 cycle difference even if I was able to use a separate RX!
My hearing is not that good anymore!
Anyway-tell me a way to use the Eagle so I can  zero beat a received CW
signal. Is there a way? This guy was going on and on about me using the RIT
AFTER I was zero beat if I wanted to hear a different pitch.
How can I do that If I don't know if I am zero beat?
This is probably a question with no definitive answer but any help would be
appreciated. Give me a step by step and I will certainly try it!
Thanks!!
