This is what I did, but I found the null to be VERY VERY tight, the pot
had to be in exactly the right place otherwise I had quite a strong
carrier. I wouldn't be surprised if I've since knocked it and have too
strong a carrier myself.

Is the carrier balance pot supposed to be quite so sensitive, or have me
and perhaps SM0YQC built something wrong that makes it so tricky to set?
