As for the frequencies. Here they are in this order from top to bottom:
AM: 54-160KHz
SW1: 4.2-(on the SW1 and SW2, it gives areas like Berlin, then Moscow then that
ends out SW1)
SW2: (London, Rome)-11MHz
Police Low: 31-48MHz
FM: 88-108MHz
Aircraft: 108-135MHz
Police High: 140-172MHz
Weather: 162.5
As far as the tuning of the radio goes. I am VERY selective and am very good
with tuning. I get the FM bleeding on the Police Low band, but I repeat, I get
nothing on the Air/Weather/Police High. Not even random static, just the same
old static as the AM was doing at one point. Trust me, it's DEAD. But no wires
are loose from what it looks like. If I can't get weather, then something must
be wrong.
Not only this but now, like I mentioned yesterday, they're two black wires
soldered on the board just above the power supply and both of these wires come
from the power supply and go to the board where these two wires are now. The
one on the right just came loose. Is it ok to operate the radio until I'm able
to resolder it or will it cause a fire hazard.
You guys can really tell I'm a newbie now, he he. ;-)
I'm sure I can pick up at least some weather, even if I can't pick up any air
or police signals, if I knew what the cause of this was. The set was made in
Hong Kong.
Another thing, with this bandswitch being the rotary type, on the side. From
left to right, here's the order, Air/Police High/Weather, FM, Police Low,
SW1/SW2, AM. Does anyone have any idea which band inside would control the
Air/Police High/Weather band? I could recheck if I knew which one was the band
for the Air/PH/Weather band.
Thanks for putting up with the newbie. ;-D
