Default Hot rodding AA5 radios

Most of the mass-produced radios lack the RF coil to properly match the
ferrite antenna. As you adjust the oscillator coil you will find a spot
where the gain of the circuit is optimum. You are not adjusting the
ferrite antenna: you are matching the oscillator to wherever the
ferrite is tuned to. This will produce stronger signals. Try it.


That would do winders for dial accuracy.
