includes front panel cover, AC power cord, and article about the receiver
both whip antennas are straight and true
clock is running on one D alkaline battery includes, and seems to be keeping correct time
tested as follows-
on FM band heard multiple stations across the dial with FM whip antenna extended
bass and treble controls work
muting contr...ol silenced receiver completely when turned on
AM broadcast on MW position- copied several stations with clip lead from from rear AM antenna terminals to outside antenna
NOTE- AM tuning dial will not go higher than about 1400 Kc and stops at that point - will need attention and repair
did not test LW
Shortwave- attached coax from rear SW antenna terminals to outside antenna
on 40 meters copied multiple ham signals on LSB around 7250 kc
antenna tuning control peaks up around 7 on its scale; rf gain control works
next tried 20 meter band around 14250 kc
NOTE- when switching bands 10 Mhz control works fine, but 1 Mhz control requires a firm grip to turn, was able to rotate through all positions but probably will need attention
NOTE- USB pushbutton is NOT working- will need repair- was able to copy 20 meter USB by using CW position and rf gain control
tried foreign broadcast around 15.4 Mhz- sounds fine- AM normal and narrow positions seem to work fine
light switch is NOT working
spot checked foreign broadcast around 9 and 11 Mhz and all OK
also tested AM broadcast at 1700 Khz while in SW- all OK
no other testing done- in effect there are 32 bands
did not test on battery power- battery compartment looks clean
coax jumper with PL259 to spade lugs included
NOTE- bottom trim piece at right front slightly deformed, front cover attaches but not perfect fit, see last photo of lower right corner
This is old and complex equipment that may require adjustment and attention and I have also noted several obvious issues as described above
heavy radio, shipping weight over 30 lbs, will be double boxed and sent via UPS
lower 48 states only
