XG1 freq. adjustment

Greg Derda-2
I've just built an XG1, and it is not clear to me how to adjust the
frequency using C6.  According to the manual:

"the frequency of the XG1 can set to exactly 7040.00 by adjusting C6
with an insulated tuning tool.  Otherwise leave C6 set at its
midpoint."

With C6 centered, there is a definite tone at 7040.00, but the
bandwidth of the tone is fairly wide, and it is higher pitched, and a
good s-bar louder up around 7060.00.  Should I trim C6 to bring what
appears to be the loudest peak down to 7040 (this doesn't seem very
precise)?  Maybe I've goofed up and there shouldn't be any bandwidth to
the tone (i.e., maybe is is supposed to be a precise tone)?

Any suggestions on how to "calibrate" the XG1 would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks,
Greg, ki4mmm
