I have one of these radios. It sounds great and works fine using the pushbuttons on the AMBCB. However, all the tunable bands act like they are bandspread tuning. If I set the LO to be spot on at 1400 KHz, tuning down the dial, I get about 10-15 KHz for every 200-300 KHz I go down the dial. I've looked and looked at the schematic, but for some reason I'm just not seeing it. There must be some significant series L or C that's keeping it from tracking properly. It's also off in a similar way on the SW bands.

If anyone has any experience with this particular problem, I would appreciate any help you can give.

TIA

Brenda Ann
