Hi All,

This may sound like a very silly question, but what is the "true"
frequency of, lets say, a Kenwood TS-530S? What I mean is, when it is
said that a particular CW calling frequency is exactly "7.040MHz",
then should I set the TS-530S' frequency display to 7.040MHz (in
receive mode), or to 7.0392MHz (for a display of 7.040MHz during
transmit) to be spot-on a designated Calling Frequency? I obviously
would like to make 100% sure that I'm exactly on frequency, and not
off by 800Hz, when monitoring for any CQs!

Thanks for any clarification,

-Bill


Hi Bill. I will be interested to hear the replies to your question since I
have a similar problem with the TS-570DG. When I work CW it seems that
stations (as in your example) that are supposed to be on 7.040 MHZ always
sound better to me on 7.040.10 MHZ. I seem to be able to work them fine but
I always wonder if I should move back to 7.040 for transmit.

Regards,

Pat
