[Kenwood] Basic alignment. TS-430S

[Joe]

Ok,

I did a basic alignment this afternoon on my TS-430S.

Old age and all that. but was very simple three trimmer caps.

I knew the pair that control how the IF passband is balanced was off.  
USB and LSB had very different background hiss sounds one was all bassy 
and the other hissy.

and the narrow SSB filter was useless unless you adjusted the if shift 
control way over.  but now nice and balanced no difference between USB 
and LSB even with the narrow filter.. It's nice to be able to use that 
ya know?

Now I knew I was always off a little on freq,  and I found how to adjust 
it. at least a video about it. here,,

at a little past the 1 hour and 11 minute point.

and I did it and it was easy and WWV was awesome on all freqs except 2.5 
today. so I did that adjustment it indeed was still a little off. I made 
it exatly the same. and even checked on all of them 5, 10, 15, 20 & 25 
Mhz no difference at all,

So closed the rig back up and still the same.

Now I went on 30 meters and threw out a CQ,  the dial reading, at 10.115

But all the stations that heard  me on the RBN showed me as baing on 
10.114.7 It all says i'm 300 hz low.

What do I do?
