If it has poor sensitivity on all of the preselector ranges, it is probably
a blown RF amplifier. I can't remember if it is a 3SK40 or a 3SK41. I've
bought a few of them from hamfests over the years, and it seems to be a
common problem. It could be an open coupling cap at the antenna input, if
you are lucky, but more likely, it is that dual gate MOSFET.

has a summerkamp label....wondering if there is anybody here in this
group that could recommend a
repair person to
go through a unit with the schematics/instruction manual in hand? i have

the schematic.... mine was near a lightning strike and won't play since.

i took it to a local radio shop and they kept it for months.....then
returned it and all it did was play local am stations and not very well
at that.......i'd like to get it back to working condition....would
appreciate knowlegeable suggestions.......am in southeastern usa.....
