[R-390] New Project (Update)

[Carole White-Connor]

Well, this thing is starting to sound like an R-390A! Thank you for your help.

1. I adjusted the mechanical alignment of the PTO per your instructions. It made
a world of difference. Sensitivity improved on all bands. On the 0-1 mhz band,
the increase was astounding. I went from virtually nothing to the band being
alive with BCB stations. Last night, I did some SWLing and the receiver was
impressive.

2. I checked the cams. At 7 +000, they all line up as shown in the Y2K manual.

3. Here are my next steps:

    a. Re-do the filter caps;

    b. Replace the exploding cap in the AF deck; and

    c. Set the IF Gain per the instructions on Chuck's page.

I'll report back when I'm done and get some ideas on where I should go next.

Again, thanks. Without your help, I would still be at Square One.
