In preparation for the ARRL Frequency Measuring Test
a few months ago here is how my 706MkIIG compared
with WWV.

            20 MHz  + 50 Hz
            15 MHz  + 35.5 Hz
            10 MHz  + 25 Hz
             5 MHz  + 12.5 Hz
           2.5 Mhz  +  6.25 Hz

So the error is linear with frequency.  It was easier
for me to include the error in my frequency calculations
than it was to adjust the 706 to a Zero.  Anyway, according
to ARRL I came within .02 Hz of their RF signal.  This
was on 75 meters because that's all I could hear in
South Central Pennsylvania.

It shouldn't take much to zero your 706 with WWV, and then
check it every now and then.

Trivia:  If time stood still, would anyone notice it?
