[Hammarlund] HQ180 Alignment

[Ed Wirtz]

Hi,

I am trying to align an HQ180 and am having difficulty getting the radio to track across any band. I can get it to track at both low and high points but tracking is off almost one whole division in the middle. In fact it gets progressively worse as you move along each 100KHz point on the main dial until you get to the middle. As you continue to the other end it gradually comes back in. In any of this I do not move the band spread dial from the 100 set mark. It's so bad that it is difficult to set any of the ham bands because it is a guess where to set the main dial.

Any of you geniuses out there have any suggestions other than to put it out on the curb?

Thanks and 73,

Ed, KØBKA
