Re: Aligning the TR7
I would wait until the correct tools arrive before adjusting any transformers or inductors. The cores are fairly delicate. 73, Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

Re: Aligning the TR7
That should be good enough. It's a digital circuit so it either works or not. If it locks properly across all bands I wouldn't bother. 73 -Jim NU0C "jerry-KF6VB" <jerry@...> wrote:
