Measurements at four radio frequencies show to high accuracy that interstellar dispersion and scattering produce the only frequency-dependent time delays in pulse arrival times. The dispersion measure is DM = 71.0440 + or - 0.0002 pc per cu cm. All frequencies are emitted from the same altitude to within + or - 2 km, but the variation of pulse width with frequency proportional to f exp -1.5 at low frequencies implies beaming is strongly frequency dependent. The interpulse to main pulse separation (174 deg) appears to be independent of frequency. Dual-frequency monitoring should allow intrinsic timing activity or timing variations due to gravity wave backgrounds to be distinguished from changes in dispersion measure.
