Yeah, I thought about that about 1/2 way thru the scan, it was positioned
correctly, but to be sure I switched it back & forth a few times &
rescanned. The receiver does pick up the strong signals on the dipole,
which definitely puts into question the portability & therefore usefulness,
but MAYBE this room has too much RFI for it (several computers). I'm gonna
try it outside tomorrow on the whip & see . . .

May be a stupid question BUT...
Did you move the switch on the back by the antenna input?

Bought a Sangean ATS-803A off ebay a couple weeks ago; worked well on AM
&
FM, absolutely no reception on SW. Sent it to Radio Shack for repair.
They
resoldered some broken solder joints & aligned it. Still doesn't pick
anything up using the attached telescoping antenna, but picks up the
strong
stations using a dipole. Very disappointing. Anybody want it?
