I have a Sangean 818 & 803A and they are an equal match to the Sony 7600G
anyday.
Seems to me you have blown the front end FET's on your Sangeans
That happens when users put too much wire on the antenna's

i have several Sangean sw portables---including the radio shack dx-380.

they all show poor sensitivity on all bands--my grundig YB 400/SONY 7600G
blows
them all away by a BIG margin!!.

can these sangeans be modified to increase sensitivity?


thanx.
