After a few hours of adjusting, bending plates on the cap, bending them back when that didn't work, tweaking some more, bending some more, and on and on, I finally got the thing to track reasonably. Most of the dial is now no more than about 100K off, with much of it much closer or right on. The only exception is the very lowest end of the dial where there is a jazz station I listen to at 88.5. It's at 88.7. Close enough! No more bending. No more tweaking. It has been a frustrating experience, but the unit sounds great. So, I guess it was worth it. Maybe it will replace the Scott 16A as the shop radio. Then again, I would miss the glow. The sensitivity is far better than the 16A. Not sure it should be so maybe I'll work a bit more on the 16A. Every time I play with the alignment on these FM units, I learn some more so maybe I can do a better job!
