Well I'm getting copy now in both normal and reverse CW mode.  Each time 
I calibrated the R-75 tone with a reference signal from the HP SLM.  In 
normal CW mode the tone is 799.180 Hz with 800.820 Hz in reverse mode.  
Freq stability of the R-75 is very good without the optional reference 
oscillator.  Still I would like to either lock it to a GPS reference or 
the HP type oscillators which is always dead on when I check it with the 
GPS signal.  WD4NGG has his R-75 locked to GPS so guess it's time to 
query him on the procedure.
