I recently purchased a Hammarlund HQ110A and I cannot get it to operate. It powers up, the lights and meters seem to function properly, but I cannot get any reception - just white noise. I do not have external speakers, so I use headphones....I do not have a proper antenna, so I'm just using a length of wire....since this is all new to me, I'm not sure of how to set the various controls on the unit (pitch, sensitivity, AVC. LIM, audio gain, freq, selectivity, multiplier).
Can anyone offer me some advice?
Also, how hard is it to find parts and to get repairs on these units?
Thanks.
