Hi
Did some adjusting of the compensator's, 34, 31, 1nd 29A & B by ear and had some marginal response on the AM band. The middle, or Police band, seems to be OK, but I have to turn the volume way up to hear the stations. The upper, or SW band, is the one with the worst response. What stations that can be tuned in are garbled as if there is some back ground interference. The voices on this band are distorted and unclear I replaced the two weak 41 tubes and all the capacitors except # 24 which is near impossible to reach it is so buried. I hooked the radio to it's antenna in the case and did my adjusting using it but the SW band as mentioned is still garbled. Any thoughts on why the SW bands reception is so noisy or garbled? Further, I wish I knew how to use he signal generator I have, it's a nice one but I don't know how to hook it up to tune the radio. Any one out there real good at using signal generators, I sure would like to use the one I have.
God bless,
Dave B
