Re: LF: Re: IC706 vs TS850

["Mike Dennison" <mike.dennison@ntlworld.com>]

Yes, quite right. I managed to find the 1Hz steps but you need a 
steady hand as the TS-850 dial on 'Fine' is 1kHz/rev (ie 1Hz steps 
are about 0.3 degrees of turn!). For info, the IC-706 has 200Hz/rev 
as one of its standard settings.

I looked in the handbook and on the web for the tuning rate mod you 
mentioned, but couldn't find anything. Any ideas?
