Just for fun, try a kludge BFO. Place an AM broadcast band radio (non-digital)
as physically close to the S38 as you can get it. Tune the broadcast band radio
until you hear a beat with the AM or CW signal you are listening to on the S38.

Actually, I already did that but it's a pretty academic exercise.

After all is said, seems like there should be some way to control the
feedback to both provide a beat and optimize the gain/selectivity.

I have no interest in CW or sideband with this radio but I do need some
way to set my ranger on the station I am listening to.

Any thoughts on an outboard tweak?
