[R-390] WWV Shutdown

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

At least according to those who run it, CHU is not a “frequency reference” transmission. They provide accurate time, but the carrier frequency is just done by 
a generic oscillator.

After your sample rate is correct as per the fldigi instructions, tune to an accurate frequency station such as CHU 1 khz below 3330/14670/7850 kHz in USB mode. You will hear a 1 kHz tone, and see a line at the 1 khz mark on the waterfall, or close to it. Adjust your rig so the mark will read out exactly at 1 kHz. The FLDIGI mode will need to be in 'frequency analysis' and you read the CSV (comma seperated values) average in the rectangular box just below the waterfall.
