It's bugging me too. I've got two of these sets, and both lined up well at 460 KHz. You're right, they aren't stellar performers, meant to be a basic urban radio. But mine both do very well with "local" stations up to 50 miles or so with a 30' antenna. Not a lot of "grass" there to deal with, when compared to an AA5. Still not bad sets, really.
You may want to check the integrity of that IF trimmer. It should definately tune 460 KHz. Odd, though that you receive stations across the board with it tuned to 230.. perhaps some doubling going on there, and your IF is being badly overloaded when you put in a signal at 460?
