Hello, I have a Philco 84 on the bench that has been recapped. Works but volume is low. Any reason for that and can it be made better? I'm thinking since a it a regenerative radio volume might be low with distance stations. Mostly all for my area. I have to have volume all the way up for my favorite station. I have done an alignment with generator connected to the ant connection. Instructions don't say where to connect.

Thanks,
Dan
