Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Dan Robinson, who shares the following procedure for calibrating the Tecsun S-8800. Dan received this procedure from Anna at Anon-Co<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Apparently there is a “hidden function” through which you can manually calibrate the SSB frequency display. Please follow the below calibration steps to see if it helps:<\/p>\n

1) Turn on the device and set it to USB\/LSB.<\/p>\n

2) Now press & hold the \u201cAM NORM.\u201d button until you see the backlight blink twice (takes about 2 seconds).<\/p>\n

3) Now press & hold the \u201cMEMORY\u201d button, until a certain value is shown on the display, for instance \u201c6829\u201d. This example value refers to a frequency like \u201cxxx68.29 kHz\u201d.<\/p>\n

4) If you noticed a frequency deviation of 0.05 kHz up\/down earlier, then you can use the main tuning knob to do the calibration. In the above-mentioned example, you would turn the main tuning knob to adjust the value to \u201c6824\u201d or \u201c6834\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow!\u00a0 Thanks for sharing this Dan!\u00a0 That’s two posts about S-8800 hidden features<\/a> in one day. A record for sure!\u00a0 Readers: please comment if you know of other hidden features.\u00a0 I’m compiling a full list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
