Hi folks,
I decided to check out my SW8 a little bit more. I
measured the wall wart voltage, and it measured 9.6VDC, so it seemed
to be within limits. Just for the heck of it, I checked the ripple
voltage with a scope. 4.6V p-p of ripple!

Still not quite as sensitive as my other receivers, but not bad. MDS
is now down below .1uV, which is pretty ok.

Good info Pete. I expected you to get more out of the receiver. My SW8 was
a very good radio with a nice mellow sound. It was my favorite receiver for
program listening. The filters do seem a little wider than advertised and
that may be responsible for the nice sound.
