I am in the process of adjusting a restored BC-312. Reading the book, I could
not determine whether the oscillator must oscillate at +470 kHz or - 470kHz
with
respect to the receive frequency.

The oscillator adjustment range is wide enough that I can set it at either
positions, so I need to know which of the two is correct (so as to have the
dial
scale showing the real receive frequency as close as possible).

Also, I would need to know whether it works the same on all bands.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Ed.

In the meantime a local guy had told me that for bands A, B and C the oscillator
should be set higher than the operating frequency, whilst for bands D, E and F
lower.

What is your degree of confidence on the issue?
