[1000mp] Why??

[Thomas Giella KN4LF]

You want to choose the 2.4 kc bandwith under menu item 5-9 because one requirement of operating on 60 meters is a narrow SSB signal. Frequency stability is also very important BUT in my personal experience my stock TCXO-4 is plenty stable for 60 meter operation. From a cold start up I get a frequency drift of only a few cycles and virtually none after the rig is warmed up.

  Just so I am clear, are you stating my stock 1000MP will not be legal on 60
  meters because of the frequency stability??, unless I purchase the tcxo?.

  The rules say that you have to have that stabilty and no more than that
  bandwidth on 60mtrs.

  I've had a senior moment here.  Someone earlier today mentioned that in
  order to work 60 mtrs legally you needed the TCXO and then you needed to
  change menu 5-9 to 2.4.  It's default is 6.  Now why do I have to do this?
  I have the TCXO and it is installed and I changed 5-9 from 6 to 2.4, but
  why?  Also what effect does it have on other bands/modes?
