[Fists] Doesn't anyone know how to zero-beat anymore?

[John Graf]

That is a nice web-site.  Perhaps you should ask the FISTS web master to 
link it from the FISTS page?

I agree that zero-beating is a real problem.  I am amazed at how far off 
some of the signals are that will come back to a CQ.

One of my older rigs, (Ten-Tec 544) has a zero-beat function that is really 
cool and works perfectly.  A few of the newer rigs (K3 for example) have 
similar zero-beat functions.  But just about every rig has something.you can 
use to zero-beat.

Thanks and 73,

John, WA6L
