Zenith 12-S-265 chassis #1204, questions on the LO
#4

Well, it definitely prefers the high side, or the stronger of the two. The BCB and lower SW band(or MW if you will), aligned up nicely. But the upper SW band is a joke. Above 10/mc, it aligns fairly well, but below that, it goes to H**l in a hand basket real quick! Example, 7/mc is at 7.25/mc, 6/mc is at 6.3/mc. No adjustment for the lower portion of the frequency's Icon_confused Instead, Zenith used fixed padders. God I hate those things. Oh, I did try loosening them, made sure they're grounded properly, etc. etc. Icon_rolleyes
