Yeah, mine has been off 20-30 Hz since I got it a few years ago. Now that I adjusted it I don't expect it to drift. Telamon: How did the adjustment go? What frequency did you center on ? (it's not exactly off by the same amount at 3 MHz as it is at 5 MHz) It went OK. Zero beat on 5, 10 and 15 MHz. Before adjustment it must have been right on the edge between 20 and 30 Hz off. I also tweaked the RX-340, which was about 5 Hz low when warmed up. It drifts around a bit when you first turn it on. Now it's 1 or 2 Hz low when cold and about 1 Hz high when hot. The Drake stays a little warm even when turned off so it does not drift at all that I can hear. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
