If the zero beat button works like my Corsair II, it shifts the VFO by
the 700 Hz or so and you tune the received signal for zero beat, e.g.
very low pitch, as low as you can hear. Then you release the zero beat
button and you are going to transmit very close to the received signal.
You could check your results with another radio.
