Paul,  my R-392 calibrator produces a tone via the bfo,   and the schematics
show no circuitry that indicate to me that a modulated calibrator tone is
generated in the receiver.  As far as I know, the only way to get a tone is
to beat the calibrator output with another rf wave such as the bfo.  Now I'll
have to go down as a memory check and make sure my set works the way I
described.  Yes,  it does - now discovered the set is not operating very well
after setting for a year or so - better put that on my list to remedy.  But I
only got a tone when I had the bfo on and the bfo and calibrator operated ok
and as I remembered.    Dan.
