Are alignments really necessary? Reply
by K3STX on October 18, 2009 Mail this to a friend!
Just wondering, since "it it ain't broke, don't fix it" seems to be a mantra around here. I have an SX-71, it seems to work "fine", but I have no idea if an alignment would help sensitivity/selectivity, etc... I hesitate to start messing with it since I could easily make it WORSE than it is now! I'm not technically inclined. All I have is an old Simpson signal generator for alignment.

If the rig seems to be working "fine", do you guys just leave it as found and make due? I have no idea how well this radio is "supposed" to work. It worked well enough for a QSO tonight with Italy on CW on 40 with a dipole and DX-20, FWIW.
