[digitalradio] DM 780 Drift

2009-07-12 Thread ac0mj
Good Morning to the group,

I have a question about the drift in Digital Master 780. I am sending out CQs 
in RTTY this morning on 20m and noticed as on other modes in the past that the 
signal I send drifts to the right slightly over time. I started on 14.084.10 
and a half hour later I am at 14.084.35. I realize this is a minuscule drift, 
but I was wondering why it is happening.

Thanks,
AC0MJ

I'll bet that you have AFC turned on, and that the frequency is drifting
because of AFC.

There's an option in DM780 to show the RF frequency + AF frequency, does 
this make sense?

In the v5.0 betas it's in Tools, Program Options, Logbook, Appearance: 
Frequency = radio + offset
