Sirius,

I've got signal sources like handheld rigs that I feed into a dummy load for alignment purposes, just no 10.7 Mhz source to align IF stages, etc'.

I just move the handheld further and further away from the receiver until it's at the best quieting.

I read about the Scanner trick somewhere and set my scanners to 10.7, 21.4 above and below the target frequency but could never get it to work for some reason. So I'm guessing the IF of my Scanner is different.

I have a few scanners, but the one I use most is a Commtel 510.
