The display frequency indicated above is not quite correct. When zero-beat with a signal (meaning to hear the signal at the sidetone pitch), the receiver display should indicate the frequency of the carrier. Yes it is true that under these conditions, the actual receiver frequency is offset by 600 Hz, but the frequency display should show 6999.3 (the center of the receiver passband will be 6999.9 kHz) Think of it this way - the receiver should always display the carrier frequency that will be transmitted - and that works for both CW and SSB. 73, Don W3FPR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
