Jay,
to some degree, there is the metrology question of "how accurate are
your reference sources?"; in the case of using WWV of course, it is
extremely accurate (beyond both my resolution and accuracy capabilities).
To what accuracy and resolution are the frequency counter and service
monitors calibrated, and are they NIST traceable? WWV is....
Of course, it is a moot point if you cannot receive WWV from there, right?
One way of getting better than "ear" on their method is to use a scope
to measure the beat note, and really go for "zero"; my hearing fades so
the best I could hope to claim might be +/- 20 Hz, and probably its more
like +/- 60 Hz, so its the technique I use.

Going over the KX-1 manual, it calls for aligning first the BFO and then
the DDS by dialing in a strong carrier (WWV, etc) and then using the BFO
or DDS menus.
Can someone suggest some alternate alignment methods? I have a
calibrated freq counter and service monitor.
Thanks,
