I think we've found your problem.
It sounds like your set is missing its loop antenna. It MUST have this in order to function properly.
The 40-201 does not need an external longwire or ground.
The 1940 loop is an oval, cylindrical affair covered in brown paper. A loop from any of the larger 1940 Philco consoles will work in your radio.
