Restored 42-321
#22

Yeah, I've pretty much figured it's a close as it's ever going to get - which is actually fairly close at this point. Besides, it's just a radio on my own desk, not something I have to convince anyone else to live with. Icon_lol

I'm actually happy with where it's at, I just can't resist tweaking it further if possible.

That said, I did find it a little curious that the trimmer for the antenna tuning cap doesn't actually appear to have any effect at all - even given that whatever effect it's supposed to have is subtle. I suppose I could put a small value adjustable cap in its place and see if there's a difference. I could even disable the current trimmer and temporarily clip in a very small value cap just to see what change it makes. I feel it should at least SEEM to do SOMETHING!
