[1000mp] Re: Mark V/Field TCXO's 4 & 6

[Bob Main]

Where are the instructions that tells you to zero it with WWV and how to do
it?  This is the first time I have heard that.  Even the original TCXO that
came with my Mark V has 10,48576 MHz on it.  If I zero'd it to WWV I assume
I would be tuning it to an even 10 MHz.  Wouldn't that throw something else
off?
