I have a question about adjusting the transmit frequency for a Cobra 148 and Realistic TRC-451.
My radios were off frequency, so I adjusted the transmit frequency potentiometer in each radio. For example VR3 in the Realistic. I only have a 5 digit frequency counter, and used that while transmitting on AM to get me in the ballpark ( I just ordered a 6 digit counter). I then used a second radio with headphones to listen to myself on LSB while adjusting the transmit freq.pot. to match my voice. My clarifiers are not unlocked.
Am I doing this correctly by just adjusting the one transmit freq. pot? What I did seemed to work for AM and SSB.
