I got a couple of trimmers and pads on my SX-110 that must be ninja/expert-level. The blip is within a turn less than a human hair (and that was after it was cleaned). I found it was best to try to pull back and 'land' on it rather than try to creep the screw setting to it.

That effect is pointed out in some receiver manuals but not in others.

Definitely! Up at 30MHz-odd, a small swing of the trimmer can cover a huge range of oscillator frequency, don't miss that quick plip and be sure it's the right one, very much safe-cracker's fingers stuff. |
