Then subtract the frequency difference from 20000000. In our example, the
resulting reference_frequency will be 20000000-(-1304)=20001304. The
entire reference frequency parameter in the wrg3.ini file will be then as
follows:
[ClockCalibration]
02L27011=20001304
Save the wrg3.ini file, then restart the G303 application and observe the
difference.
To return to the original factory frequency calibration, simply delete the
inserted two lines in the wrg3.ini file. You can also delete the entire file
(which will however result in losing all current receiver settings and return to
factory defaults for all of them).

The WWV Time and Frequency Standard stations which broadcast on 2.5,
5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz, have a long history that dates back to the very
beginning of radio broadcasting. The call letters WWV were assigned to the
US National Institute of Standards and Technology (then called the National
Bureau of Standards) in October 1919. By December 1922, it was decided
that the station’s purpose would be the transmission of standard frequency
signals. The accuracy of the transmitted frequency was quoted as being
better than 0.3 per cent. Nowadays the station frequency is controlled within
one part in 10
13
,
which represents frequency accuracy thirty billion times
better.
