A very accurate frequency counter is required to cali-
brate the frequency of the transceiver. However, a
rough check may be performed by receiving radio sta-
tion WWV, or other standard frequency signals.
CAUTION: Your transceiver has been thoroughly
adjusted and checked at the factory before being
shipped. You should not calibrate frequencies, ex-
cept for special reasons.
q Push [SSB] to select USB mode. Make sure the
[TWIN PBT] controls are set to the center position
and RIT/TX function is not activated.
w Set the frequency to the standard frequency sta-
tion minus 1 kHz.
- When receiving WWV (10.000.00 MHz) as a standard
frequency, set the operating frequency for 9.999.00
MHz.
- Other standard frequencies can also be used.
e If the start up screen is not selected (if [F-5]s func-
tion is [EXIT]), push [F-5] one or more times to exit.
r Push [(F-5)SET] to select the set mode screen.
t Push [(F-4)OTHERS] to enter miscellaneous (oth-
ers) set mode.
y Push [(F-1)Y] several times to select the Calibra-
tion marker item.
u Rotate the tuning dial clockwise to turn the calibra-
tion marker ON.
- Side tone may be heard.
i Adjust the calibration pot on the right side panel of
the transceiver for a zero beat with the received
standard signal as shown below.
- Zero beat means that two signals are exactly the same
frequency, resulting in a single tone being emitted.
o Rotate the tuning dial counterclockwise to turn the
calibration marker OFF.
!0 Push [(F-5)EXIT] twice to exit set mode.
