Next Project - 37-116
#22

I had a similar experience with band #2 after rewinding the oscillator coil. I didn’t need to add any capacitance to the circuit as I was able to get the low and high ends of the band pretty close with the associated trimmers. I do have a definite loss of sensitivity in the middle of the range too. I chalked that up to not having the right inductance, thus the oscillator won’t track properly. It’s been a few years since I’ve done my 37-116 but if memory serves, I believe I used 38 gauge wire.
