Default Re: Radiomobile 1070 interference from tool rack !

The 1070X is the later model, which uses silicon transistors in the RF * IF stages, so no 'tin whiskers' to worry about. It's otherwise the same as the original 1070. As to 60oldjohn's comment - if you remove the tuning knob and trim, you should see a small hole in the fascia plate. Behind this is the aerial trimmer, which is adjusted (peaked) for best reception on a weak station around 1400-1500kHz (200M)MW. This is done to match the radio to the car's aerial, capacitance wise. All Car radios used to have these trimmers. A small screwdriver is needed for this adjustment, which should be carried out with the vehicle out in the open so that reception is reasonable.
