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 **************Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make meals for Under $10.
