Sorry, Terry. To explain a little clearer, if I set my generator to 580 KHz, the highest I can shift when I adjust c19 is around 565 kHz. I can go lower, but I want the low end to come up 15-20 kHz so it matches the dial. I can turn c19 and drop it down to 540 kHz (when generating 580) but I can't get any higher than 565-568 kHz. Does that make sense?

As of right now, I've set it at 565 when generating 580 and did the rocking method to peak it there. Sensitivity is great all over the band, but is driving me crazy that the dial is off.

550-1000, about 20-25 kHz higher on the dial than actual
1000-1400, about 10 kHz higher on the dial than actual
1400-1600, perfect

IF is peaked at 455 kHz
SW is 'rocking method' peaked at 18 MHz
