Yep, the regen is the last step of the alignment. A little too much and it sounds like mush and then starts oscillating. I set it as high as I could without it getting ugly. We did find a performance increase mod that we will try once we are sure we have it sorted out in stock form. With a decent antenna I am pretty happy with it. It has plenty of volume but just doesn't want to pull signals out of the grass. The tubes all tested good but one may be a bit weak. If we ever come across another one of these the first place I am looking is the IF. That 460 vs 230 thing is just bugging me.
