[IRCA] Chinese Analog AM Portable Alignment Pictorial

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
The Kaito WRX911, Tecsun R911, Tecsun R9012 and other very inexpensive  
Chinese analog portables have been eagerly ordered recently, with hobbyists  
attracted by their superior nulling ability (not to mention the price of under  
$10). To be honest, the factory alignment for these portables is rarely set at  
the optimum positions, and the Chinese-market units like the Tecsun R9012 do not 
 cover the full X Band, and must be adjusted to cover up to 1700 kHz.
 
Uploaded to the Yahoo Group Site "Ultralightdx" is a pictorial of the  
alignment procedure for any of these Chinese portables, along with the procedure  
for adjusting the frequency coverage to include the entire X band. Both  
procedures are remarkably simple, and involve only removing the back panel, and  
making a few very accessible adjustments for peak performance.
 
If you have ordered one of these analog radios and have never done an  
alignment, the time to jump in and start is now! There will probably never  be 
another model so easy to align, not to mention so cheap to replace  :>)
 
73, Gary DeBock
