statons on SW showing up in another spot
#4

the full report i suppose is here,,,
http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=16397

I am going to see if station x shows up on station y and z as an example on other radios ,,, just to do a stare and compare.

As terry mentioned, i did not do a professional process alignment.
I followed the directions but used "known" locations / freq's of high / mid and low stations to adjust my BC in.

the topic here is for SW , my BC is really dead on perfect by using the way i did it. on BC i got 550, 710, 960, 1200, 1400 and within a 1/16'' of an inch on 1700.

on SW, there is only one adjustment for stations, then there is an antenna adjustment.
Being new , this really confuses me which is probably simple to everyone else.

i cant see how i can "shade tree mech" align shortwave.

on my hallicrafters it was really easy to do it shade tree way.

i still want to send these two plus my newly aquired two sets off to DLabs.. just gotta coordinate it.
