I have a Realistic DX-100 like that. I suppose it was factory
aligned at 455 kHz, but the IF had a double peak. I realigned it to the
center frequency of the ceramic

You have one of those Frank? You like? LOL. I love mine. I had two and traded
with DXZoner, who used to post in here about a year ago.

It was my first 'I thought' real receiver. I think the definition of your
'first' receiver is the one that peaked your curiousity and then you continued
in the radio hobby.

That's the DX100 for me. Matter of fact, I went in the living room about
fifteen minutes ago and turned it on to let it warm up. It's in mint condition,
got the box and papers for it. Had a tech buddie of mine get in it with his
equipment and he said it was just a tad off. I don't know how much a tad
was/is. But I'll measure it with my DX399 hooked to a yo-yo antenna wire from
Bil'ls company (that antenna has been everywhere and been put through crap) and
match it up to see the exact freq. at it's always dead on.

But it has to be on for about a good 45minutes to be stable. How's the drift on
yours? When does it even out for you on your piece?
