Frequency Accuracy

[Don]

Hi John,

The dial tone is not a reliable pitch source. Your SAT is more likely
correct. If you are afraid it is not then find some one with a short wave
radio and go to the time signal. Search the archives for directions from
Bob Scott -- or perhaps surf to the tunelab site.

If the dial tone is correct, how does one correct the Accu-Tuner for it is
indeed calibrated at turn on? If uncorrectable, do I then offset everything
2.0 cents sharp before taking FAC's?
