[Hammarlund] Tuning an HQ-129-X

[John M. Trindle]

I tried to tune into this a little late this afternoon (about 1:15), but
couldn't find you guys... any tips on tuning in?  I tried tuning the main
dial to 7.3 and tuning down from "100".  I heard a lot of hams, and one
non-SSB station where the fellow was talking at length about guns... no
boatanchor chat I could find... I did find "East Coast (?) which I think
was ECARS at 7.255 (but didn't know it at the time).

I can reliably tune in CHU 7.335 on the main dial... I've calibrated the
main dial to WWV and CHU at 100 on the band spread dial.  The Band Spread
dial goes to 100, unlike the documentation which suggests it should go to
200.

Sign me ... confused.
