Finally, some one actually read the manual!
The alignment is actually quite simple once youve been thru it once.
The way we determined which way to move that wire was to insert a plastic
rod with a piece of aluminum glued on one end and powdered iron on the
other. Aluminum decreases the inductance and iron increases it.

Mike,
My book indicates, like many National receivers, on D band a single loop
of wire inside of the coil is bent to add/subtract inductance. I just
looked at my RF input coil (opened it up) and there is the wire.
The wire is accessible through the left rear hole, looking from the top
of the assembly (the side with the contacts).
Se page 19 in the HRO50-1 National manual for all the coils.
I have seen some cases on some receivers (not an HRO-50) where the range
may not be sufficient.

What a pain in the scrote. The manual says to adjust the coils for the
low
end of the band, (in this case, I'm using coil set D 1.8-4.0M GC 3,5-4.0
BS)
and there aren't any adj. available. I looked in the in each coil set and
I
can see the coil but it looks as though it was designed not to be adj.
and
I'm hesitant about attempting to adj. them. The only one that has an
adjustment for GC is D-4. It worked well on 160 but it was damn near deaf
on
75M. I wanted to make it back to standard but its a real tough go. I
should
have left well enough alone. Well, in for a penny, in for a pound.

Fun isn't it Mike. That is the way. If there is an easier way, I would
like to see it.
