The higher end from 1080 to 1400 sound ok but show on the dial about 20% higher. As I go to below 820 )which is at around 10000 on the dial I begin to loose reception to more static vs signal. Not sure if that explains it per your comment. and my concern that the replacement OS is IF = 455 and the 38-12 Philco is spec at IF 470? Mid range is shifted up and low range hardley there.
