At 1500KHz on the dial my RF generator has to be set to 1455KHz in order to receive a signal and the oscillator trimmer cannot adjust it enough. The low BC band oscillator trimmer can get it on 600KHz.

It might be the case of "you need to rotate the dial".
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
