Hey all. I just finished Ten Tec QRP monoband rig and am trying to align
the xmit and rcv, so I am xmitting and rcving on same freq. The manual says
to xmit over a reference signal in a second receiver until the pitch is the
same. I tried that with my Kenwood TS-180S as the signal source, and wound
up being 800 hz away from the Kenwood frequency, even though I zero beat
both transmitters in the second receiver.

Then I tried just using the Kenwood and the Ten Tec, and was able to sync
them alright, and heard both about on freq in the second receiver. But
while I was doing this, I noticed that the Kenwood frequency changes
(according to the display) 800 hz on transmit in CW mode, which just
confused me more.

I know I'm probably being anal about it, and everyone uses his VFO on CW
anyway, so +- 1kc is not a big deal. I was just hoping someone might shed
some light on the subject, so my understanding could improve.
