This
page comes after a guru DXer asked me on how someone can read he accurate transmitting
frequency from a given broadcasting. The story is very simple and here i just copy and paste my message to him, First watch carefully the picture. I have circled
the major points to use in this simple maths
This is the case of RVM via the S Bernardo kSDR i was centering on 5940 . Which also circled in yellow
-153.8 Hz, is shown in the yellow circle . This is the transmitter’s offset frequency
In order this number to be seen get that you must and click on SAM mode and then click on the audio tab. The carrier shift that is noted in the second circle next to SAM text.
Then the frequency yields
5940.0 kHz - 0.1538kHz =5939,8462
Fro positive shifts, we have to add the number
5940.0 kHz + 0.1964 = 5940.1964.
Important notice: Since the VCO may not always be perfectly aligned with GPS, it is advisable to check a few more stations, preferably European N American and Chinese which are correctly tuned, within the band in reference for potential tuning errors and perform the required calculations! The fastest way is to press [SHIFT] while tuning with the left click, which is aligned in the exact 5 kHz steps.
The margin of error could be approximately ±50 Hz. If the results are within the ±5 Hz it is better these differences!
