(01-03-2015, 11:00 PM)Ron Ramirez Wrote: The local-distance switch is definitely working. During my brief test, I switched to the second band and tuned some SW in the 49M band. I was puzzled as to why I wasn't picking up much, until I realized that I had left the local-distance switch in the local position. When switched to On-Distance, the difference was amazing as the SW stations then came in with great strength. A station I could just barely hear on On-Local suddenly became very strong and loud when the set was switched to On-Distance.

That local/distance switch really kills the radio when in the local position. The Zenith expert John Goller had a solution to this which worked rather well but it has been quite a while since I've done it. It was switching out, or adding a resistor. I'll try to find my notes with the information. It worked very well.
