Dang if you are not right-sorry about that! I just checked calibration
(which I should have done before sending my mail). This receiver
(continuously on) was dead on frequency (within 1 Hz) for three weeks ( I
checked daily and the last time was this morning). But sometime this
afternoon it drifted 10 kHz off from the dial reading. I now have to
subtract 10 Hz to get the right frequency.
Switching to my other radio with its GPSDO clocking.
