You said you wanted to be able to calibrate it via the data that came with the device. You can calibrate it by inputting the data to the radio and you will get the 0.5PPM accuracy you were promised. Does that mean that the data is used? No. But you CAN input it and you WILL get the accuracy you paid for.
