Jay, W6CJ wrote: 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. >> I've been around the block once or twice, but don't think I ever ran into a "service monitor". What is a service monitor? Maybe I know it under a different name? Bill K3UJ ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
