I remember the day when 1000 Hz readout was considered very good. That got you close enough that you could find the net or your scheduled QSO. Xtal calibrators told us where the band edges were and we were in good shape.
Then came digital displays with resolution to 100 Hz. Wow! Was that slick. Now our rigs display frequency to 10 Hz. I'm not convinced having that additional resolution is worthwhile. It may even be distracting. We tune WWV, the display says 9.999.94 and somehow we feel we're off frequency. Do you remember the days when we tuned in a signal based on how it sounded rather than based on what the display said? - Keith KD1E - - K2 5411 - -----Original Message----- From: Solosko, Robert B (Bob) ... Switching to 80m and tuning to the W1AW frequency, ... I had to tune up about 20 Hz to be in the center of the CW tuning indicator band width. On one of the other bands ... the difference ... was even more noticeable, ... about 40Hz. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
