I guess I must really be missing something here. :) I have been using 700 and 700B since it was first released in early beta many weeks ago and have NEVER had an issue with tuning, as long as the person at the other end WAS also on frequency.
As long as my radio is on the right frequency it locks on very well. It almost sounds like we're trying to solve a problem that doesn't really exist on the air in everyday use. Of course with the Waterfall on a computer it will be many times easier. And use of the QSO Finder to let people know WHAT frequency you're on, it's a no brainer. When you see the carriers and the bandpass filter set to 1.5k, just center it in the waterfall screen, and done. Since we have not had the code to try it on an SM1000 just yet, that may be slightly more difficult, but even still, I would use the dial of the radio to set it to either a known frequency or center up on the sound. Just my 2 cents.. :) Walter/K5WH -----Original Message----- From: David Rowe [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 21, 2015 7:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Freetel-codec2] Tuning Aid 700B mode Just curious - have any of you actually tried 700B OTA?
