Hi Steve,

I am able to peak the 1st IF. I'm having trouble with the 2nd Detector and 2nd IF. I'm using an Eico 324 which has been calibrated using a radio. I then checked a few other radio stations to see how well it tracked across the frequency band range and noticed some error.

Since I don't have a frequency counter yet, I took some data points of the frequency error across the Standard Broadcast band and plotted it on an excel spread sheet to give me a guestimate of offset for 460kHz, (about 7kHz offset). I set the 324 accordingly and did an alignment.

I would think even if the reference frequency was off a bit there would be enough adjustment in the trim caps to peak the output voltage.

John
