Hammarlund HQ-129-X
#22

I learned something new today. I tried everything to get the 3.2 MC - 5.7 MC band to line up, but it just wouldn't. Now, I had the bandspread set to 0, as one might assume that would be the point that gave 0 deviation from the main tuning dial. BUT NO ! Finally, in complete frustration, I tried setting it to the other end of the dial at 100, and lo and behold, the band aligned correctly ! Now there is nothing on the bandspread dial that says "set here" or some distinctive mark, as there are on some bandspread dials, nor is there anything that I could find in the instruction manual. In fact, the manual is pretty deficient in information on alignment. It seems to be purposely that way so that owners would have it serviced by Hammarlund rather than tackle it themselves. (Which is odd knowing hams as I do, they LOVE to play with their gear.) Anyway, once I had that band sorted out, I went back and checked the alignment on the .54 to 1.32 MC and the 1.32 to 3.2 MC bands. They were right on, since, according to the instructions, the bandspread does not work on those two bands, only the upper four bands where popular ham bands are found. So, that was my work this evening, and I am pleased with the result.
