HI again Ron. Well the good news is that I have reception on all 5 bads. However, now that I have had more time to play with it I notice that I am not getting any stations when I go to the left or below 70 on the AM scale. I get stations very clearly all around the dial to the right or up on AM, but when I go left or down from 70 I get loud static and no stations when I can easily get them on other radios using the same location and antenna Icon_sad .

So, I'm really happy with what I am getting, but I want to make this thing 100% right. Sorry to trouble you again but any quick thoughts about where I should look? Is there a particular circuit or tube or detector or anything that would be associated with this portion of the AM band?


By the way, I am going to the SARS meeting next week. I told them that I had been using your websight and of your help... Thanks again, Sonny
