Yes, I-f. So as long as it is a 455 can the resistance no matter how high or low is not a factor? Also I added the 2-120pf and resistor as in the schematic. Now I can adjust it in at 455 with my sig. Gen. But when I try to adjust the 1500/1600 on the tuning cap through the loop ant. as per alignment data. The only way I can pick up the sig gen is at the lowest end (fully meshed) no matter what freq is on the gen. Would polarity be an issue? The dot is always no.1 terminal right?

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
