Thanks Mike. I had tested it with a 6' piece of wire. I attached a much longer antenna and the other bands get activity. AM is still weak though. I will have to do some rewiring as the guy who last worked on it used the wrong wire for some of the chassis, and for all the grid wires. Looks like he ran out of cloth wire about 3/4 the way through. Very odd. Wish he had replaced the grid wires in cloth and left his handy work under the chassis.
They really stuffed this chassis in the cabinet and it weighs quite a bit. AK sure makes a quality radio.
