Joe, Yes. The forward 2 adjustments on the big tuning gang are both antenna adjustments (i think!)....My riders shows the 1 47 tube version from the bottom, and the 2 45's from the top. Icon_eek

Here is one way to make the 1/4" tuning tool:

Tune to a station as high on the dial as you can 1400 to 1500 if possible then adjust the 2 trimmers for max signal

Good Luck
