Need to get that TMP cable (radio to Freq. Ctr) made and get back to the
project of determining exactly how close you can get on average without
an instrument(s).

Pretty sure I can get a lot closer than 25 Hz using my ear.... even my
old aviator's ear.

Glad I chose NOT to try the eBay/Chinese PCB box deals...
