A 400 Hz difference is way off! Method-2 works, no problem. I set mine months ago and it is still within a few Hz of WWV. Make sure you are doing the zero beating with the RIT off.
FWIW, my ref osc is at 49.379.918. (Not sure how much that figure might vary from unit to unit...) 73, Drew AF2Z On Thu, 03 May 2012 05:43:37 -0500, Dwight NS9I wrote: >My K-3's frequency appears to be off.
