Also,
Reduce the RF gain...and set the AGC to SLOW otherwise the potential to
overpower the NB circuits is high and over driving will increase the
distortion. Lastly, the IF NB will remove significant selectivety of
the IF circuit. SO, you'll be hearing splatter from strong adjacent
stations that you wouldn't otherwise hear if the NB was off.
Good Luck,
