After adjusting the bfxxx number, you have to power the radio off and back on again to actually tx/rx again, as you hear nothing when adjusting in the 'frequency alignment' menu. (The 3 digit number only adjusts as low as 130)Ĥ. The clarifier moves the last digit and the channel change moves the middle digit. If your radio is low ie showing 27.55480 when it is actually on the frequency of 27.55500, then you need to adjust the 3 digit number down. To adjust the internal frequency of the radio for the mode you have selected (for example USB), you need to adjust the 3 digit number.
MAKE A NOTE OF THIS NUMBER - for future reference, in case you need to adjust it back, and remember, there will probably be a different number for each mode usb/lsb/etc so note each one down.ģ. The display should show bf xxx (xxx being a 3 digit number). After allowing the radio to warm up for 20 minutes or so, turn the radio off, then turn it back on while holding the func button down then pressing the RB-NB-DW buttons one at a time in that order and in quick succession.
I then did what I should have done in the first place and contacted Radiozing, where I got the radio from and after contacting CRE they came up with the following solution.įirst of all set the radio to the mode where the discrepancy shows (in my case USB). I searched online for an answer, assuming it to be a programming issue, but came up blank, however I searched. This, as you can imagine, was a bit of a pain especially when QSYing to other frequencies. At that setting, both transmit and receive would actually be 27.555. For example, say I was on 27.55500 I would use the clarifier to adjust the frequency to show 27.55450. I had noticed that when using SSB on this radio I always had to use the clarifier to adjust the apparent frequency down by 500Hz.
I don't know whether I am the only person to have suffered from the problem of the frequency display on the CRE8900 not matching the actual frequency, but I thought it might be useful to post this, as it offers a solution, should I not be alone.
