Modern troubles again
#8

Hi Folks,

It has been a while since posting here on the Phorum, but I am still a radio tinkerer. Work on this Yaeusu side-tracked into doing a fresh alignment, and that side tracked into buying a frequency counter to add to the instrument shelf. I found a nice used LG counter, 9 digit precision and high stability reference for a good price on the auction site. So it is back to setting up the radio, then re-evaluating where the mis-alignment lies, if indeed it is still present. Further to that, since it is just a small "squint" in the passband, apparent only in the AM mode, it may not be worth going to the trouble of addressing it. at all. SSB and narrow AM are unaffected.

Cheers

Ed
