There is an ARRL Frequency Measurement Test coming up in November and I'd
like to participate.
I'd like to verify my receiving frequency with a frequency counter and
wonder how to best attach that to my TS 830.

Who has done these kinds of measurements and could give advice???

About 30 years ago I qualified with my HQ-180A and an LM freq meter.
Didn't need to hook anything together

The problem with a counter and a TS830 is that there are various
oscillators in the 830 that would all need to be summed together to get
into the gnat's hair range. I really don't know how that could be
easily done. I'm thinking old style using an oscillator like the
LM/BC-221 or any good signal generator to beat against the signal and
measuring THAT unit rather than trying to measure the 830.

Bill, so you suggest to beat the signal the ARRL will transmit and then to
calculate the signal frequency by using the published transmission
frequency??

In that case I still would need to get the signal generators signal in my TS
830 to beat with the ARRL signal. I guess I could connect the signal
generator to the antenna input. Do I see this right??
