I downloaded new firmware 01.77 and 01.58 and I wonder if something has been introduced to make CONFIG:REF CAL procedure not work.
It worked perfectly before using zero beat method. I set frequency to 10.000 MHZ, CW mode 2.8 KHz Bandwith, WWV is good S9 signal I set monitor to approximately equal volume level of WWV, monitor set to 36 I use MENU button to switch to CONFIG:REF CAL, so far so good, reading is 49.379.670 I tap SPOT; VFO B display changes to SPOT, here is where the problem creeps in. I hear the spot tone and no WWV signal whatsoever. I can adjust VFO A until the cows come home with no change as there is no signal to beat with. I tap SPOT again and WWV is there but no spot tone. Toggling SPOT alternatively gives me either the spot tone or WWV signal but never both simultaneously. The display toggles from SPOT to REF CAL. It is really clear when the WWV signal goes away. Now when I exit CONFIG mode and tap SPOT I immediately get the beat tone of WWV beating with the spot tone but I can't adjust the oscillator in normal mode. I can zero beat the oscillator by trial and error by listening to the beats in normal receive mode with SPOT enabled and then shift to CONFIG mode to tweak the oscillator and back out to normal mode to see if I got closer. Either I am having a gross operator problem or something has changed.
