Bjarne - could you comment on the method or source used to determine the accurate frequency offsets mentioned in your expedition reports? Perhaps they are generated by the Jaguar database?

The frequency offsets, although far from 100 % reliable, are collected through the "Turtle" database incorporated in Jaguar. Turtle uses known and reported offsets to create an "RDS"-like station name display. Station offsets are usually stable; if a station is 3 Hz off, it will usually stay so until major overhauls or transmitter replacements. One example is CHRB High River AB 1140 which for many years was "way off" frequency, until this fall when it suddenly was spot on. I suspect a new transmitter.
