Ok, we hooked up a single insulated 20-25 foot wire to the ANT lead and hung
it above the back sliding door in our kitchen. We didn't hook up any ground
wire though. Turned it on after cleaning the battery contacts and all we get
is static across all the bands. There's a trimmer control on the front of
the radio but I have no idea where to set it (all the way to the left?
middle? right?).


Try a longer wire away from the house and connect a wire from the GND
terminal to a ground rod.
