[worldcruising] Weather Fax Reception Question


Subject: [worldcruising] Weather Fax Reception Question

Hi all...

I'm at home practicing receiving hf weather faxes...

Ok, I'm a geek...

Anyway, I seem to be having a little trouble getting my receiver (Sangean ats-803a)tuned
properly...

The instructions on the NOAA site say to tune your receiver 1.9 Khz lower than the
advertised freq. and then set if for USB...

My receiver doesn't have a "fixed" USB, it has a BFO knob that I'm using tha same way
I do when I'm listening to two Ham's yap, I use the BFO to tune out the beat frequency...

Anyway, I don't seem to be getting anything intelligible out...

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks,
Chuck
