OK, I think I know what I am reading on the LED display but I need confirmation. I found the W1AW scheduled CW broadcasts on 7.0475 and now see that when I tap the button I get the following displayed sequence: 7, 047, and then 47.5. So, I see that the final is a 100 Hz digit place and 100 Hz tuning would likely produce this final result (although I have not yet tested that).
I think I got thrown a curve when the manual seemed to hint, no it actually says, that there are TWO readouts, not THREE. peh On Nov 11, 2010, at 4:23 PM, Phil Hystad wrote: > Question For you KX1 experts... > > I am in the process of building a KX1 and I am currently doing the Receiver > Alignment as described on page 45 of the manual. > > I am stuck.
