Okay, 4.3 mc is the FM IF in the 42-350. The point the writer was trying to make is, some strong local FM stations can often be tuned in on these older FM receivers - not on their normal frequency, but by the local oscillator of the 42-350 beating with the second harmonic of the modern FM broadcast signal.
No adjustments need be made to the 42-350 to do this (other than a normal alignment of the entire radio after it is serviced, that is). These sets will pick up a few signals from the modern FM band - but only if you have very strong FM signals in your area. It will not pick up weak signals of the modern FM band because of this.
Oh, and I had a good laugh from that site's description of the 42-350's "peptode audio output."
Is that something related to Pepto-Bismol?
