[CR220]

I have a 39-116 Philco with the mystery control. One question, how strong of a signal should the remote make when activated? I tuned a longwave radio to the 355KC frequency, and was able to receive it at about 4 feet away, but it was weak. I have verified that the remote is tuned. The remote has a number 5 stamped on it, as well as the back of the radio chassis itself. The radio plays very well and the remote is in good condition, parts check out-coils, etc. The remote will activate the radio when placed a foot away from the secondary coil made into the radio. I think the remote is not making a strong enough signal for the radio to receive.
