setting pushbuttons on a 42-390
#1

Old Farmer says hi,
    I've been setting the pushbuttons on a 42-390.  3 of them I could tune them into a station quite easily and they work real good.  2 of them, I'm lost !  By now, I've screwed the coil & cap.  So many times I don't know where I'm at. The best I could do was a very weak station that you could barely hear. Is there a better procedure other than just screwing back and forth and hoping you can catch something. On the fm antennae jack I see 2 extra holes. That wouldn't be some sort of aid to help set up these buttons?  Is there anything that I should be looking for.?
     RESPECTFULLY YOURS
  Steve
