Hi

You don't really need an owner's manual. They are very hard to find, and often expensive when available.

The controls are, left to right:

VOLUME BASS TREBLE TUNING

Just above these controls are nine pushbuttons.

Left to right, they are: OFF - (next five buttons are AM presets) - AM - POLICE BAND - SHORT WAVE

For dial tuning, you need to push the AM, POLICE or SW buttons (depending on which band you want to listen to).

Pushing the OFF button turns the set off. To turn the radio back on, push any of the other buttons except the OFF button.

You mentioned you had poor reception with a 20 foot longwire. Do you not have your set's loop antenna connected? The reception will be very poor without it, as it is part of the tuned circuit of the set's front end. With the loop connected, if it is operating properly, reception should be excellent.
