Notice how well all flavors of stock Flex radios performed in the FMT. Paul, W5PDB, came within 0.10 Hz on several of his readings on a 1500 alone. Likewise for W2VQS who used a 3000 with free Fldigi frequency analysis software for help with Doppler shift.
This was my second attempt at a FMT. My worst reading on November 10th with my stock Flex-5000 was off by 0.22 Hz. I simply estimated the frequency on the built-in scope. My radio was in the DSB mode and display was in the Panascope mode which allowed estimating tenths of a Hertz. Is any other brand of amateur receiver so accurate out-of-the-box, without the addition of costly and complex external frequency references?
