does not seem so to help. My Lafayette HE-10 seems to get better Am
DX that this radio hooked up to the same radio. Am I doing something
wrong? Even my S-38 does better on BCB DX.

Dear Count,

The Lafayette Model HE-10 is one fantastic receiver, very much under-
rated today. Its sensitivity is far better than its specifications
would seem to indicate and its selectivity is excellent also.

Though I can't comment on the Lafayette, I can say that the
selectivity on the RF-2200 isn't up to the task of split frequency MW
DX. For stateside DX its fine, as the channels are all 10 kHz apart.
Maybe on a good night you may try for some of the Carribean channels
that are on the 5's, but Europeans are probably out of reach.
