Hi Dave,  The input vac is not critical, but a good range is 110vac to
117vac, with the best at about 113vac.  This range will keep the
calibration right on and keep the stress within reason.

Check the vfo ep adjustment and correct if necessary.  It should be within
500 hz, less is better.  Follow the wwv calibration procedure in the tech
ref after it's warmed up for at least an hour or when the vfo becomes
stable.  Monitor a stable station looking for very little drift with the
bfo on.  Use the highest wwv you can receive well.

Regards, Larry
