Hi gang,
I'm aligning an S-38E. I have the manual from Bama which is very
helpful, but there is no mention of whether the LO is high side or low
side injection. The oscillator (and RF for that matter) coils have no
slugs, there is only a trimmer cap to set at the high end of each
band.
Since the oscillator trimmer will reach either high or low side, I
wonder which one is correct. Perhaps with no way to set the
inductance
at the low end, it really doesn't make much difference?

Seems like this is not too bad a little rx considering it is
essentially an All American Five with a bandswitch.

Thanks

Try high side on the first 3 bands, low side on band 4. That should get
the oscillator traking reasonably closely with the dial. If not, switch
band 4 from low side to high side.
