Now having a new longwire antenna for the first time at this house, I decided this evening to pull my Realistic DX-302 off the shelf and try out both radio and longwire.

I was amazed to find that on the 1.000-1.999 MHz band, that I was picking up an AM station every 10 kc! And this was about 6:30 pm EDT, with the sun still out.

Unfortunately, when I went to change the MHz switch (the collar surrounding the tuning knob), the collar only turned and "clicked" - the MHz would not change.

I have seen online that a nylon gear is prone to breakage, but have found nothing as far as how to fix it.

Does anyone here have any thoughts on this?

Thanks.
