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

Just a few general notes if no answers forth coming:

1: Measure the LO with a counter at the low end (if there is no
adjustment for setting the low end of the tuning);
that will tell you if that band uses hi or lo side injection.
It makes a big difference if set wrong!!!

2: If the osc. section of the tuning cap uses smaller sized plates, the
radio is probably hi side injection.
