Default Re: Pratical Wireless receiver design, Ae straight to 7360 mixer

Much of the noise you hear when you peak the antenna trim is actually thermal noise from the dynamic impedance of the first tuned circuit. If you can't detect much peak the receiver may still be fine for HF with a reasonable antenna. If the peak is really obvious then it is too sensitive and may need an attenuator!
