[ARC5] Drift in BC-453 - more

[J Mcvey]

Are you really going to notice a 5 hertz/ minute drift?A WSPR session is two minutes. The drift is significant to that demodulation time.
It doesn't affect SSB or CW that much. I'm not exactly tone deaf, myself.
Rather than speculate, try it .If yours works great, then I will know that I have an unusual situation. Both my R23 AND BC453 seem to have the same ailment.

I use mine on SSB and have never noticed any drift in the BFO, and I am particularly 
sensitive to tones. I can tell easily if the BFO is drifting on SSB, even if it is only a few 
cycles.

I have NOT ever really measured the drift, though.
