Guys, such great suggestions. Thanks!

I believe the AVC is working correctly... but when the radio sits on top of my antique roll top desk with the back facing the wall, reception is pretty limited. If I physically turn the radio so the back of the radio (where the built in loop antenna is) faces the window, the difference is night and day. But I don't want my radio sitting sideways on my desk!!

So I'm going to experiment with your suggestions. Thanks again!!!

Bob
