R71A question
 

Hello,

My R71A is off freq. by 1 KHz.
If I'm listening to a SSB signal on 14.2500 it will 0 beat on 14.2499.
Can you tell me how to adjust ? I do have a Freq. counter and DVM

Thanks,
Darryl Rigali

WWV is also of by 100KHz

turn the radio upside down and look for the little hole towards the front of
the case. There's a small pot that you can access with a phillips
screwdriver, and adjust the LO (to a minor degree). Don't do it until the
radio has been on for an hour or so, to warm up a bit.

And, don't be surprised if it isn't off a bit from time to time. Unless you
have the crystal oven option for the R71, it's probably rated at +/-10ppm
from cold to warm, and maybe 5ppm thereafter. At 10mhz, I believe that's
+/-50hz, right?

Sounds like yours is pretty darn close now.
