 Hello to milsurplus net;
     I own two BC611F which I changed frq to 3798Kcs. After alignments
 I recently field tested the radios. At about 1000ft away, signal was 
 strong but audio had a lot of distortion.  >>

Are you sure this is not just receiver overload? The 611 receiver is quite
a sensitive receiver, but with not a good AGC.  Maybe try just shortening
the antenna at short range? This was the "traditional way" of  controlling
for too strong signals with this set.
