As I understand, Tentec uses 700 Hz as their standard CW offset. Using the
600 Hz procedure would this not then introduce a 100 Hz error?
Can't say for the V as I don't have one on the desk. However, with the Omni
VI Plus, in the CW mode, I press the CW button and adjust tuning for a match
between the sidetone and the incoming CW signal. I can easily get within a
few Hz using this method.
