Keep in mind that we have a couple of active stations now who's radios are highly accurate and stable being locked to GPS or Rubidium reference.
Stations Im aware of so far are -
Iain VK5ZD - 144.490540
Jim VK3ZYC - 144.490500 ? (needs to be verified)
David VK5KK (?not sure, but Davids sig is very stable) - 144.490501
So if u find you can hear/decode signal from a Ref Locked station, you can verify your rigs accuracy and adjust if required.
I've listed the stations TX freq above. So if you are able to get a signal, for example, from Iain VK5ZD, we know he's station is set to TX 144.490540. So when your program decodes VK5ZD, you should see his decode reported at 144.490540 in the program.
If its not then you may need to tune your RADIO dial freq up or down accordingly to correct this. This will then get your radio tuned up as accurately as possible.
So for example if you did decode VK5ZD at 144.490511 for example. You would need to tune your rig down 29 Hz to get it on exactly the right freq to the Hz. After this VK5ZD should decode close to 144.490540 ... depending upon how drifty ur rig is with temperature. You may need to re-check and adjust now and then if it does drift over time of course.
If anyone else is on, or sets up 2m WSPR with ref locked radio please advise us in this thread. Let us know what you have set the programs TX freq to be so we know where we should have you decoding at.
Thanks
