I finally got around to getting a transistor pocket radio. I tuned the PT-95 to what I think is 100 (1mc) and the transistor to around 1450 and held it near the 7A8 tube. I hear a loud buzzing/popping noise. Is that the oscillator working?
When I say I think I tuned the PT-95 to 100, I can't be sure because the tracking is way off. A station on 560 in my area comes in around 810. To rewind the antenna loop, I used thicker gauge wire than than the original but the same number of turns. Would that cause the tracking to be off?
