[Hallicrafters] SX-42 Alignment

[Rich Soennichsen]

Thank you Roy and all the others for the continuing help.  More questions:

Can you guarantee this?  ;-)

Mine does have a sweep mode, how do I use it?

I have no way to test them, perhaps I should just replace them....

How do I use another receiver to check the LO?
