The radios filters may be a little wide. Listening carefully you can
move a frequency step in both directions and come to a consensus as to
whether WWV appears to be centered on 10 and 15 MHz by listening to how
the station sounds. The audio frequency response will change as you move
away to the actual transmitted frequency.

If the radio has 1 KHz increments you should be able to get an idea of
where WWV is centered on the right frequency. You might be able to do it
with 5 KHz increments.

You know, I did that, and it's right on. course, WWV's signal is so wide
that's not a good test . . .

Lisa,

On eham.net, you'll find that the first reviewer for the Grundig Mini
300 noted that his unit was "usually reading 5khz high across all of
the bands."

see: http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/4761

So, if the displayed frequency occasionally reads off by 5 kHz, it
could well be that your 15545 @ 20:15 sportscast was actually the 15540
kHz RPI program and your 7115 @ 03:22 actually R. Republica on 7110
kHz.

If this is the case, then you'll find that your new Kaito '1101, being
a PLL synthesized unit, will receive these transmissions 5 kHz lower
than what your Mini 300 was displaying.

Best of listening to you.

If you are right about this then Lisa could check her radio with WWV on
5 and 10 MHz and see if the time standards station is 5 KHz high.
