in the absence of any adult supervision i pressed on. it would seem that with all the parts i replaced the i.f. will have to be adjusted 0ne more time. i ran the whole string and will need to do it again as the closer i got to the first i.f. the better it got until at the 1st if it peaked as it should. a revisit to step one and two brought success as well. ill finish it up on the morrow. i cant understand why they dont just have you START at the first i.f. like other radios. it would have saved a lot of grief. UNLESS there is a reason i dont quite understand????
