Mike, The thing that is wrong with that logic is that AM-S has an "AFC" associated with it (capture range). So the frequency that AM-S can capture will not necessarily show the actual carrier frequency.
If you cannot determine the beat frequency, I would suggest you first use an audio spectrum analyzer like Spectrogram (download at www.n0ss.net) or SpectrumLab in SSB mode to observe the tones transmitted by WWV - 500 Hz and 600 Hz on alternate minutes except for silent minutes and one minute of each hour when 440 Hz is transmitted (the one second tone at each minute is 1000 Hz). Once you get the frequency close to correct using the above method, then try the "beat note" method in the manual - you should be close enough to hear the beat in CW mode - just adjust until the "wow-wow" tone is as slow as you can get it. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/30/2011 5:12 PM, w0ih wrote: > I noticed that when I went to AM-S (AM Sync, AutoTracking), that the > frequency showed: > 10.000.010 > > So, I figure that the Reference Oscillator was off a bit.
