Improving HF Reception
In urban areas, it''s sometimes necessary to add some front end filtering to eliminate reception (or at least reduce it) of MW signals. These signals can cause multiple false signals (often

Transmitter Incremental Tuning (XIT) allows you to listen on the transmit frequency of a station working split and automatically transmit up or down in frequency where the DX station is likely listening.

Tweak the C1 and C2 capacitors, then align the V-shaped antenna until you get the best signal from the desired station. The stereo indicator LED on the FM radio receiver should start

Turn on your signal generator, enable the internal modulation tone and set the RF output frequency to the radio''s IF frequency, (usually 455KHz). Let the generator warm up, preferably for 20 minutes or so.

It is best to run a length of feedline to the antenna and set up a testing station, where you take your readings at least 1/4 wavelength away. Safety first: NEVER activate your transmitter while anyone or
