Hi Don,
Good advice in almost real time!
Thanks for putting me right on D36 and the waveshape mod.

I am having a lot of trouble with T5 and aligning the VCO.  This is the 
subject of a number of emails to and from Gary Surrency.  Awful things 
have happened like pads lifting from the board when removing T5 to 
change the number of turns!  But I won't go into that year.  Suffice to 
say I got discouraged for a couple of years, but have revived my 
determination to fix this radio and get it going.  In parallel I am 
working on an early S/N K2 that someone else gave up on, and I have got 
that VCO aligned OK - so all is not yet lost.

Incidentally, I have added D40 and D41.

Thanks again
Kevin
