Maybe im going about this wrong. I have the sig gen's gain turned all the way up. Could that be causing anything funny to happen with the AVC circuit?

Also a couple other things i noticed is when the radio is first turned on for the radio will motor boat and pop for a few seconds then it goes away. Also if I remove the grid cap of the 36 Osc tube it motor boats. Think I did a number on this alignment lol

I did inject a signal from another radio through a head phone cable into the grid cap of the 1st audio tube it the sound comes in very clean so seems the front end is ok.
