Can you still tune in and receive stations on SSB with accuracy, and do they tell you that you are on freq when you transmit?

If so; then your freq counter is off.

AM is different. One can be a long way off the center freq and hardly notice it. It may start to sound fuzzy when it is way off freq.

If you are so concerned about what your freq counter says or your radio is off; then it is time to bundle it up and send it off to get it aligned.

You need to understand that just because your freq counter may not be reading correctly, it does not necessarily mean that your radio is transmitting or receiving incorrectly. You may need to determine that with another station that you talk to with some regularity and that you can trust their judgement. You need to get off this merry-go-round - my friend. By doing this, you can determine if your radio is off freq, or that your counter is off freq. They are not the same thing. The counter may/may not be reading correctly.

[QUOTE="Robb, post: 553666, member: 8446"] Can you still tune in and receive stations on SSB with accuracy, and do they tell you that you are on freq when you transmit? If so; then your freq counter is off. AM is different. One can be a long way off the center freq and hardly notice it. It may start to sound fuzzy when it is way off freq.
