FYI  Mikes method is the same one I use. The receiver I use for an IF has
a variable
Offset which I attempt to keep at 600 Cycles. However over time the Knob
gets moved
I have always made it a routine when checking something new to do a 60
Khz check before
looking at the specific frequency I wish to check.  Gives that little
added
confidence     HI
