[Lowfer] Question about HP3586C SLV???

You're probably going to have to go through the regular calibration routine for
Argo while listening to 60 kHz or some other standard frequency. With my 3586C
locked to GPS I ended up with something close to 1800 but not exactly. I've
since been told that the bfo is xtal controlled and not tied to the frequency
standard input - although I have not verified this. This probably accounts for
some additional ambiguity in the frequency display. The argo calibration
routine will take care of this at the moment you do the calibration. You can
guage your drift over time by watching 60 kHz for a long period of time.
