Hi Steve and all,
Well, correct fq is a real issue. I have used PI4TUE as a reference when
tuning (wanted the servers on the same fq) and I have to offset my VFO
30 Hz high. So, if I had just used the readout then a QSO would not have
been possible. When I go mobile I use an FT-817 and to get the correct
fq I listen to a beacon and tune from there (yes, there is an offset
there as well). I guess what I'm saying is that ham rigs aren't very
accurate, especially in a mixed environment with several makes of rigs.
The only possible way to get a qso is probably to listen to a beacon and
tune from there. Or, check our rigs against a known fq reference and
apply a local offset.
A local setup sounds very wise, fq accuracy would be easier to handle
and get a grip on then. Perhaps Dominoex is a better mode for ham rigs ?
