How to adjust the frequency counter on a Dosy TFC 3001Meter

[danmcclain]

My Dosy TFC-3001 frequency counter has wandered off. Channel 21 now reads 27.2139. The owner's manual says nothing about how to adjust the freq counter back to the correct frequency. Does anyone here know how to do that? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan

I'll see if I can dig up a phone # at Dosy. I talked to George the tech support at Dosy. Real nice gentleman. 1-888-295-6884 He sent me parts for free to fix a problem with my 3001-S. Can't remember what it was !

Your welcome, ya might as well get the scoop straight from Dosy. I actually talked to George twice on two separate issues, the first time was adjusting the 3 power level pots on my TFC- 3001 and then I bought the TFC-3001-S because I wanted to be able to test frequency on SSB radios and that is where he sent me replacement parts but don't remember the problem now. Sure like being able to test my SSB radios to see if they are on Freq. Good luck and let us know how you make out !

Talked to my cb tech and found out there is a pot on the bottom circuit board for adjusting the frequency. My meter is spot on once again, thanks everyone...Dan

Compared to what? It is only as good as whatever you referenced it too.

Too true. "Spot on" would be if the lab's standard freq meter or counter bears a valid current frequency sticker. And calibration isn't forever. Every 3 to 6 months is not unheard of.

There's only one person with certified calibrated equipment and competent enough to calibrate that frequency counter you know! Even has the stickers to prove it!

Hahaha

So who was your CB tech you talked to ?
