[Elecraft] Elecraft] Zeroing in on WWV

[David Walker]

I know where your coming from.  Found the same thing myself - however, I =
neglected to read the manual properly.  Simply turning C22 will not =
adjust your rx frequency.  The trick is to make minor adjustments (as =
per the manual) then redo the CAL-PLL.  Recheck your frequence =
adjustment against the WWV zero beat and then readjust C22 as suggested =
and redo CAL-PLL..  Then recheck how far you are off from zero beat.... =
and so on.  Also the zero beat is sometimes hard to pick - you can use =
the Spectrogram to help, but I did mine in CW mode and used SPOT to zero =
beat against WWV.  =20

When I initially build my rig and before I touched C22 my rig was about =
500hz off.  Now I am within 10- 15 hz off.  This is accurate enough for =
me.

Best of luck.

Hi,

I noticed that K2 #462 and WWV don't exactly agree on where 10.000 MHz=20
is.  I tried turning C22 on the control board while listening to WWV and =
it=20
doesn't seem to make any difference.  What am I doing wrong?
