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
