....... My guess is alignment, or dirty bandswitch contacts (spray them with
Deox-It, don't waste your time with Rat Shack tuner cleaner).
Good luck, Mike K.


I just reworked an S-38C for a co-worker. Along with the dirty switch
contacts several of the grounds to the chassis had corroded and needed to be
cleaned up. The wipers on the tuning caps needed attention too. My shop
antenna is a 35ft wire at the apex of the garage roof. With that hooked up
the little guy does great on shortwave broadcast, 75mtr AM etc. With no
antenna it gets all the local stations.
