[1000mp] CW Tuning Meter Question

[J. Mc Laughlin]

I too found this "feature" of the Mark V.  I just set the pot to the
lowest setting and then backed it off a bit.  The tuning meter has
essentially no value, at least on CW.
    Nevertheless, listen to the spot tone and tune to the same pitch.
    Great radio.  Some poor engineering.

Subject: [1000mp] CW Tuning Meter Question


I just received a brand new Mark V yesterday.  I changed the pitch to
400hz and then  tried to recalibrate the CW tuning meter.   But with the
adjustment pot all the way CCW the lowest freq the tuning meter will
calibrate too is  500hz.   Has anyone else tried to calibrate the tuning
meter down to the low end of the range of 300hz?
It looks like I might have gotten a defective unit.    W7is@arrl.net
