Pot Adjustments
It think I should point out that in my near screwup with the pot, my solder job had a profound effect on the "tuning" of the signal. Obvious, a glob of solder on that thing pulled me off-signal enough so that I had to adjust it.
Arch2b, have you tried adjusting the pot at all yet? You might squeeze even more out of that coil. Care must be taken (I will only adjust from the wax side now) and you need a pretty tiny flat screwdriver, but the wax is easily removed and this adjustment is very easy if you go in 1/8 or 1/4 turns. On mine, I could give it a good 1/2 turn either way before noticing changes in range, so there is an acceptable level of slop and clearly, a "center" that was not perfect from the factory. I know this is the antenna thread, but I am starting to think that our tweaks are only going to show the best results if the frequency is properly tuned.
