[1000mp] RE: FT-1000MP frequency accuracy

[Harry Yingst]

I got the TCXO6, High Stability Crystal Oscillator (.5 PPM) because I
wanted the improved stability and accuracy for my FT-1000MP Mark-V
Field

As they come stock they are a little drifty (but not bad for ham radio
use).

Most xtal references will need to have there frequency touched up as
the crystal ages.

An easy way to do it on the FT-1000MP Mark-V Field using WWV or another
accurate 10 MHz standard, (ie Rubidium Standard) is:

1. Set the Sub Receiver to 9.999.00 USB

2. Set the Main Receiver to 10.001.00 LSB

3. Turn on Dual Receive so you can hear both receivers.

4. Adjust the Reference Oscillator until you hear the warbling stop.
