so re-found a radio shack 200-0629 (ats-505) bought years ago, the one with the Clarify 1.5khz knob on the side for SSB. Finally heard enough traffic on 11.175 the other day to get pretty close to the right spot and taped that sucker down.
what has occurred to me though is, if the rheostat is even and accurate (i know it's not likely) with 1.5khz on both sides, and USB for 11.175 is in the 0.25khz position, approximately, IF that is correct I would be aiming for 11.17525, in theory that is?
will the offset be generally the same regardless of freq or source tx equipment?
i have never seen it described this way, presumably for the obvious reasons of equipment design makes it irrelevant in most cases etc.
just curious if there are any thoughts on the matter or corrections.
oddball sidenote: what made me track this thing down was i was scanning thru the coverage from end to end with a BR330T recently and it actually stopped on 11.175 tx, and was remarkably understandable, though the 330 is not designed for such.
