<DIV>I bought the above mentioned CB transceiver several years ago with the
intent of trying to convert it to 10 M. I finally got around to looking at it
and found some anomalies. The variable receive function is supposed to tune from
channel 1 (26.965 MHz) up to channel 23 (27.255 MHz). However, with the tuning
capacitor fully meshed, the lowest channel attainable is channel 10 (27.075
MHz). Channel 23 is reached with the tuning capacitor only 50 % meshed. I can
actually reach 27.455 MHz (above channel 40) with the tuning capacitor fully
open.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't know if a previous owner had a tuning tool and didn't know how to
use it. I would first like to try to restore the GW-10 to the proper tuning
range before trying anything else.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any suggestions about how to go about realignment to get the variable
tuning capacitor back to what I would guess should be the original
range.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there any opinion about whether the GW-10 has enough leeway to get to 10
M? Or maybe I have already spent too much time with it and should forget about
it.</DIV>
