I never did this for a living (thankfully, because I would have gone 
hungry) so you may not want to hear my advice, but if the PTO were to be 
200kc off, the radio would behave very badly and you would know something 
was wrong.

I use a frequency counter, set the dials to wherever they should be (based 
on where the frequency the counter says the PTO is currently running 
(usually at 2.455 or 3.455 but anywhere in its range will work)), center 
the clutch, and go from there.
