Average AVC voltage is highly dependant on incomming signal level.
Weak signals will make the AVC hover near zero (max gain), like is should.
Since this set needs (and was designed for) an outdoor aerial of at least 30ft.,
I suggest trying that. Be sure to also use a lightning arrestor and install it properly.
Also very inportant is a good Ground on the set to a cold water pipe or ground rod.
This will also maximize your receiving signal strength.
