Electro, I'm happy for you but not certain how you know your "Old" FM is working properly as there really is nothing on that band. Tell us you did a full alignment on the modern FM frequency by ear and I will be really impressed. As for "fancy, schmancy" equipment, well, my signal generator was $25. My scope was free but not needed a lot. You must have better hearing than me, which everyone has. I suspect you could get even better response out of your radios with at least a signal generator. There is a difference between "acceptable" and great performance.
Regards, Jerry
