The P3 has a menu entry to calibrate its frequency MENU:Ref Cal The calibration prodedure is on page 37 of the manual. I like to use an AM broadcast station (preferably near the top of the band) for calibration because these frequencies are highly accurate and AM mode puts the carrier right at

+1, yup!  Mine is spot on, as calibrated... as in less than 1 Hz error rate. __ Clay Autery, KY5G (318) 518-1389 On 04/24/20 20:27, M. George wrote: It sounds like you need to do the frequency calibration as documented on page 39 of the manual
