That was my point, although I may not have been clear. There is no
"adjustment" for the pointer as you said. However, there is an

process that tunes the oscillators and other procedures. Once done,

drift due to aging of the (usually tantalum) capacitors may be

out so that the unit will operate and point properly.


That's just not how ADF circuits typically work. I think you're
making all this up. Otherwise, you'd understand how the "oscillators"
work when they're commonly digital PLL's, and that if a receiver did
alignment, it sure ain't gonna be due to "drifting tantalum caps," as
if they are especially prone to do that in the first place.
