Whenever I have attempted to do an alignment I have had a hard time hearing the signal from my generator. I finally was able to hear the tone when I had the antenna disconnected and did the first part of the alignment where I set the generator to 455kc and the radio to 540kc and the generator is hooked up straight into the radio. When I try to hook up the antenna to the radio and a 6 inch antenna with 6 loops to the generator for some reason I cant always get a tone. Not sure whether its the radio or the generator but I did hear the tone when hooked straight into the radio without the antenna hooked to the generator. Maybe the tone isn't very good on the generator so when using the antenna I cant hear it, not sure. Maybe I will replace the caps, etc on the generator and see if it helps...unless someone has a better idea.
