I'm having trouble locating the cause of garbled short wave reception on a Zenith R600. I was doing an alignment on the broadcast band and it comes in great. When I tried the SW bands, all the stations came in garbled or distorted. I didn't want to start turning rf coil slugs because it is happening on all sw bands. I swapped out the 1L6(it's a used one) with no change.The 25 and 31 meter bands have a squeal and no stations. Any help is appreciated.
