[TenTec] Scout Frequency Error

[MadScientist]

Well, each band model has its own crystal local oscillator. The chance of their all being off 100 Hz is zero.

The PTO can be off, there is a cal process for this - it would affect all bands the same amount. However, since the counter reads the PTO, it automatically corrects for PTO errors.

Ditto for the BFO.

Therefore it is likely that the timebase oscillator for the display is out of calibration.

Alignment is easy, as shown in the manual.
