At design level there are two choices for the local oscillator frequency:
fLO=fRF+fIFfLO=fRF+fIF (high-side injection) or fLO=fRF−fIFfLO=fRF−fIF (low-side injection)
Usually for medium wave AM receivers and FM receivers the frequency of the oscillator is higher than the desired RF frequency (fLO=fRF+fIFfLO=fRF+fIF). Since the oscillator is implemented with a fixed inductor and a variable capacitor, with this choice the capacitor change is well within the realm of possibility.
A low-frequency oscillator (LFO) is an electronic oscillator that generates a frequency below approximately 20 Hz. This term is typically used in the field of audio synthesizers, to distinguish it from an audio frequency oscillator. An audio oscillator produces frequencies in the audio range about 16 hz to 20 hz

A stroboscope was used to determine the frequency of the string oscillator. Strobe frequencies fs were recorded where a single stationary image of the oscillating string was observed. The frequency of the oscillator f can be determined from the stroboscope frequencies fs by f = nfs where n is an integer corresponding to the number of oscillations per flash.
