[Lowfer] KA9CFD grabber

[Jay Hainline]

It’s the FT-2000. I think whenever the fan kicks on, it makes it wobble.

Otherwise it looks like I have had good reception all day on MP.

Jay: I understand. My FT-847 has the wobble at QRSS60 as an IF radio. I've
been meaning to put one of those Khune or DEMI xtal heaters on the master
osc xtal and recal it.....someday I will get to it....

If it is the LF converter LO, it may be cheaper to use an OCXO then add an
xtal heater.  I'm using an Isotemp 3.0 MHz OCXO found on ebay for $30
shipped in my DBM LF converter.  With the TCXO option in my FT-817 worst
case drift for the converter and receiver combination is .02 or .03 Hz /Hr
with my 125000Btu furnance cycling on/off 5 feet away from the radios. The
Jupiter GPS rx's have come way down in price as well for ther 1pps ref
signal...all it takes is time and money.... (hi)   73, Mike wa3tts
