[Hallicrafters] SX-111 alignment clarifications needed

[George KB2Z]

Good afternoon all,

The SX-111 plays pretty good, once the  opposite sidebands are put right it 
will be a joy to use.
Adjusting the 50.75 perked it up but did not help the reversed sidebands. 
Could there more than one peak?

Can anyone break it down for me. I have read the instructions a dozen times 
but, there are a couple of alignment procedures I just dont understand. 
Having never aligned a Hallicrafters rx b4, please bear  with  my not 
understanding.

***On the 1600kc 2nd conv.osc and 1650kc if.
1) Says  to adjust for maximum output by adjusting the signal generator 
freq. w/T-201 top.& T-1, T-2
2) Tune through the passband and observe the shape of the response. Set in 
the middle.

How much is the signal generator freq adjusted? Shouldnt it be at 1650?
Do you observe the shape of the response on the meter or a scope?
If a meter does that mean that if it peaks at say, 20v and drops off at 
10v, adjust to 15v?
If a scope does it go across the speaker load?

***For the RF alignment; It says to set the generator and receiver to the 
same frequency.

3) ""The oscillator frequency is higher than the signal frequency on all 
bands.""

Could someone please explain that statement?

Thanks in advance for any info., advice, or explanations. Its all 
appreciated. George KB2Z
