Frequency calibration
(approximate)
A very accurate frequency counter is required to cali-
brate the frequency of the transceiver. However, a
rough check may be performed by receiving radio sta-
tion WWV, WWVH, or other standard frequency sig-
nals.
CAUTION:
The IC-7800 has been thoroughly ad-
justed and tested at the factory before being
shipped. You should not have to re-calibrate it.

a standard frequency, set the operating frequency for
14.99900 MHz.
• Other standard frequencies can be used.
