10. Simple Way to Calibrate L3
A much easier way to calibrate L3 is to tune the frequency to 8.998000MHz with antenna
connected, and adjust L3 until the received noise weakest, i.e., to suppress the received
signal. Use 100 KHz tuning rate to get to that frequency faster.
While you tune from 3 MHz - 8.998000 MHz, you may notice a sudden mute (received
noise level drops suddenly), this silence is where the trap works. It may be around 8 MHz
with the supplied can coil (The slug is about half way into the can). Move this "silence" to
8.998000MHz. i.e., turn the slug out a little, about the same height as the metal
can.
