Thank you very much Mel. I understand it now - it's quite simple! Thanks for your mini-tutorial of the 14070 ssb range 14070-14073 and the meaning of the audio tone frequency. It's quite clear now.
I'm not sure the XIT in a Yaesu Mark V is calibrated in frequency units. So I'll just keep the Rx and Tx "netted" and set the transceiver xmit freq higher by the DX stations requested offset. 73, Larry N2LA On Fri, 15 Aug 2003 13:14:32 -0400, Mel Martin wrote: >I just don't see what your problem is Larry... maybe I'm missing >something... > >When you check the net box, the receive and transmit tones are identical... > >The carrier frequency is the same for RX and TX unless you are using >RIT/XIT... there is no "offset" that you need to worry about...
