I am new to ham radio.

I was given an Icom 735.

Set up radio per owners manual. Using a wire antenna (set up for
10meters), an MFJ tuner.

I am not getting any signals at all. Double checked all connections
and set per manual again.

I could use a few suggestions.



Check out the WWV time signals. The 10MHz signal is pretty powerful


Seconded, and try receiving without the tuner in line, just stick the
wire in the center of the antenna connector, making certain it doesn't
short to the ground, and do it with the radio on, there should be a jump
in the noise level when you make contact.

Let us know what happens!
