All,
I have completed Phase II of construction and have a couple of questions. But first, I have the RF Gain set to full clockwise, Filter full CCW and AF Gain at about the 12 O'clock position. I have a 28' piece wireman 541 wire connected to the red side and a 16' piece of the same wire to the black side of a double BNC antenna connection. I'm using a SONY MDR NC60 Noise canceling headset. All the tests are good except I am not able to peak the trimming capacitors. I do hear some static in the back ground but I don't think I'm doing it right since I cannot find Peak. Do the trimmers have a max number of turns in one direction before the reach a stop or will they just keep turning? Can they be broken by over turning in one direction?
I need some help understanding this process.
Thanks and 73
