I have done some reading and watched a few youtube videos about IF Alignment.
As stated above, my radio's symptoms are that very strong stations have the audio distorted. Talking sound the best, but is still somewhat distorted, music sounds very bad, unless I move the dial off the strongest signal, and then it sound better but still distorted.
Could this be a problem with regard to the IF bandwidth. In other words perhaps the IF bandwidth is too small and thus the edges/lobes of the signal on both sides are getting clipped and thus the distortion.
Just looking for some possibilities here. Any suggestions would of course be welcome.
