Excellent!  I _thought_ that was you who wrote that.  Just wanted to say 
that you DID write it to the nearest Hz...if I left a zero out in one of 
my emails, it was a mistake.  You wrote 12.800003, which is the value I've 
been using.  Thank you again for the TCXO.

My receiver only tunes down to 185 kHz, BUT:

THAT is a good idea.  I'll try that.  I won't be fiddling with the manual 
adjustment, though (since you measured it and recorded to the nearest Hz) 
but I WILL try the zero-beat idea, and see what I come up with.

Thanks again, everyone,
Eric
