    Don't peak and tune it, work on the antenna first.

    Twisting screws and following a service manual shouldn't take over an hour. Not sure what anybody would hope to accomplish by doing so, since it was already done at the factory. Cheaper to leave it alone.

    Yeah there is but if you just hand it to someone without looking at everything else. Start with the antenna and perfect that before messing with the radio.
