I asked Dirk to correct an error in rouding, which he did. I tested
thus:<br>
<br>
28001.01 thru 28001.04 (50% of the range) rounds as it should to
28001.0 <br>
28001.05 thru 28001.09 (50% of the range) rounds as it should to 28001.1<br>
<br>
This reduces the average frequency error to 25 Hz. On the other hand
AR-Cluster simply truncates by dropping the second digit following the
decimal point creating an average error of 50 Hz.<br>
<br>
I never tried, until now:<br>
<br>
28001.0 rounds to 28001.0 (correctly) but<br>
3501.0 rounds incorrectly to 3501.1 !!<br>
3501.01 rounds incorrectly to 3501.1 !!<br>
<br>
So there are problems with this when the whole part of the frequency in
KHz is less than 5 digits apparently.<br>
