AM aligned beautifully. FM has no reception at all to begin with. Steps 1 and 2 of FM alignment go well but in step 3 C32 is very unstable, or maybe eratic is a better word, and just by touching it with my alignment tool increases reception slightly. When I am able to get a somewhat stable reading and proceed to step 4, I'm seeing no changes at all throughout this step of the procedure. I guess pull the trimmer can out and check trimmer C32 to start with? Other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
