Default Re: Hacker Sovereign II (RP25) tuning extended to 104 Mhz?

I've had a little play with the FM Oscillator in conjunction with the HF and Antenna trimmers and so far have managed to bring in all the required stations above 101 Mhz and only lost BBC Radio 2. So that's a result, thank you all for the tips so far so once a fine tune is completed I'll move on to replace all the sockets, try and locate a correct aerial and get a rear grille for it.

Once that's all done, I'll attack the handle and recover it and clean up the rest of case in general and I will also fit external power supply socket and fit new battery holders internally to accept 12 x AA rechargeables and then the external 18v PSU will be able keep them topped up and power the radio at the same time.

This is the same as I did with the HMV Diplomat which also was designed to use 2 x PP9 batteries and the system appears to work well.
