Greetings to the group: I see I will have to go back and duplicate Emanuele's measurement setup exactly; I can do that but it will take a while. In the mean time, I have taken some more pictures with

Re: SX-28A Hum
FWIW, I think the best manual for the SX-28A to be found on-line is the military manual TM11-874, which may be found on BAMA at: <https://bama.edebris.com/manuals/military/an-grr-2>
