I use the DBS_RX for radio astronomy, and I use a narrowband calibration 
signal (not from a precision source, but
 within a few Khz).  That signal shows up in my FFT display within a 
few Khz of where it should be.  I never
 see any errors as large as 500Khz, that's for sure, and I've used 3 
different DBS_RX boards over the last couple
 of years.

Also, 21cm emissions from the galactic plane are usually within 200Khz 
of 1420.4058Mhz, and that's where they
 show up, so I'm reluctant to believe that in *general* observed 
frequencies can be off by as much as 500Khz.
 Something else is wrong.
