[TenTec] Triton IV 544 Digital

[Jim Goudie]

H Paul,

I thought that sounded familiar so I turned on my 544.  No antenna connected… I have a pulsed signal ( 4 to 5 beats per second ).  With the zero beat knob pulled out it zeroes out at 14.0004; knob in it is zero beat at 14.0000.

It's definitely not a 25 kHz or 100 kHz crystal calibrator.  It's continuously there with no means to turn it on/off.  I thought that perhaps it's a third-party add-on unit or perhaps a homebrew mod, but I don't see anything that would indicate either.
