Hi Ron.

I had the exact same problem. My numbers were very close to yours.
Rather than replacing the crystals, I added a 10pf capacitor from the
junction of the crystals and C174 to ground. That brought BFO Lo down
to where it needed to be. Sure beats waiting on new crystals, and
there's still no guarantee that new crystals will fix the problem. You
will need to get BFO Lo down in order to properly perform CAL FIL.
