The N6KR method for accurately setting the 4 MHz reference oscillator is very accurate because it compensates for all variables except for any error in tuning to WWV (or other standard frequency station). I use Spectrogram to show me when the 500 or 600 Hz tones are being received at the right audio frequency - and also the once per minute 1000 Hz tone. Those with perfect pitch can do it by ear, but I do not count as one of those fortunate people. Choose 15 MHz WWV over 10 MHz for reduced error - the sunspot cycle has improved to the point where I now can reliably receive 15 MHz WWV at my QTH.
You can see the entire procedure on my website www.w3fpr.com. Just look in the left column for the K2 Dial Calibration article. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/17/2011 5:28 PM, K1FFX wrote: > I did the dial calibration using the > N6KR method > that Don has on his web site.
