What symptom does poor tracking produce?

  • A.Reduced sensitivity at one end of the dial
  • B.Distorted audio on every station equally
  • C.Complete loss of the local oscillator
  • D.Excessive hum on strong signals only

Answer: A

Poor tracking detunes the preselector relative to the oscillator, so sensitivity falls at one end of the band while the other end is normal. That frequency-dependence is the diagnostic signature. Distortion affecting every station equally points at the detector or the audio chain. A dead oscillator kills reception entirely. And hum on strong signals suggests a supply or modulation problem. Whether a fault varies with the dial position is the first question worth asking about it.
