wow, our posts criss crossed paths... good job.

ok,,,
toss the instructions... at least thats what i had to do and it worked.
first ,, find out if your AM stations agree with you pointer
if no- mentally note this and compare how far you are off on FM.

check your AM alignment and target a live station thats near to or around 1500 to 1600 am. Get that part of the spectrum nailed down.
now double back and check to see if your satisfied with FM stations compared to your pointer.

if no- split the difference between the two

my zenith AM / FM beat me up like this for two or three days before i figured out a point i could live with.

remember one thing.. you generally have piss poor reception down in the lower AM and FM bands anyway... and you generally have poor reception in the really HI AM bands....

if you take the wack a mole approach and get the middle 80 to 90% accurate ,, the stuff on the ends probably never worked well even from the factory.

I think terry told me for AM,, tune to something near 1600AM and adjust things to make this range come in good and most of the stuff on either end for AM will be close ,, but we never get them dead on.
