Do not work on 6 Meter band


You simply adjust a 15 turn trimpot
until the model of your radio is
displayed ie: HQ-183D
No other adjustments required.
(See TWEAK mode below)

It is easy and stable since
there is nearly a full turn of the pot 
per model.

For those models that are dual
conversion on some bands
DFD1-National automatically
detects the band and changes the
IF offset. It has no controls.

DFD1-National uses a 20 MHz
TCXO reference so it can be easily
calibrated by zero beating its
oscillator against 20 MHz WWV's
carrier.

Jumper selectable 100Hz/1000Hz 
resolution.

Digital filtering to eliminate flicker
due to round off uncertainty.
 

TWEAK MODE
provides optional accurate calibration capability.
The frequency (F) to which the radio is tuned is computed as
F = Local Oscillator freq +/- IF freq

DFD1-National assumes the IF frequencies shown in the chart above are the
actual IF frequencies of your radio.  However, some types use a crystal filter or
crystal controlled second conversion which make the actual IF frequency a function
of the frequency of those crystals which can vary a few hundred Hz from radio to radio.

A jumper on the PC board enables TWEAK mode. In TWEAK mode there is a 15 turn
trimpot which allows adjustment of the IF frequency +/- 12.8KHz in 100 Hz steps.

For dual conversion radios there is a separate TWEAK control for each IF frequency.

To adjust TWEAK mode, tune a known frequency (crystal calibrator etc.) for maximum
signal and adjust TWEAK control to cause correct frequency to be displayed on DFD.
