After more than a month I took my 42-365 out and tried once again to get it working. This is interesting. I set my signal generator to 1400 kc and touched the oscillator (XXL) grid and I get a station. Touching the antenna with the signal generator, same thing. I get a strong station. This is the only way that I get any reception. The lead from the generator has a 0.1 mfd capacitor attached to it. So I tried the same capacitor on an antenna wire and of course that doesn't work. Anyone know what's going on here?
