I tried listening for the local oscillator on another radio while the band switch was in the SW position but I heard nothing.  I have a donor Philco 17 chassis so I swapped out the oscillator coil and now I am receiving one SW station however as I move the tuning up to the end of the dial I get a terribly loud squeal.  So I am not sure what that is ?
