[Premium-Rx] Receiver Frequency Display Accuracy & Calibration

It sounds great.
I hope your arrangement is accurate and calibrated,
and it performs to the makers specs and tolerances.

I have a deep misstrust of PC measuring systems,
as I have been caught before,
when software and hardware claim accuracies,
which vary with PC interrupts,
or are interploated between samples.
