It was chiefly the BFO - and for all I know, I might have set it wrong in the first place 2-3 years ago when I swapped out the board, and never knew.?? I took the advice on the KD8CEC site to use an audio spectrum analyzer program [for Android, i use "Spectroid"] to listen to the rig on a clear frequency. I? tuned the white noise for as even a blanket between 300hz and 3khz as I can judge.? I then hooked up Memory Manager and re-tuned to WWV by making changes to the master clock value rather than dealing with all of that other carrier cal trouble.?? At this point, I hollered into a dummy load and discovered I could hear only the desired sideband on a redundant radio, upper or lower, corresponding with the intended one.? CW followed, moving the CW BFO around until I got the tightest curve I could manage between letting in as much 600hz as it can while rejecting as much treble as it can. There's a CW filter add-on here, but its nice to be able to trim it a little beforehand.? I sure appreciate the encouragement.? Sometimes we just have to go back to the beginning and see if following the instructions on a new day (or new year) improves the outcome. Tnx & 72 Ted K3RTA?
