HQ-145 sensitivity

I would appreciate it if someone else with a working HQ-145 would please
check whether theirs operates the same way. Just tune into WWV at 10 Mc
on both band settings and see if there's much difference in signal
strength. Thanks!

Joe, does the receiver hear the atmospheric noise in its most insensitive
spot? As long as the receiver can hear the natural noise level around it,
what difference does it make if it's sensitivity is 10uv or .01uv? The
answer is NONE. With all the racket on HF, a super-sensitive receiver is a
CURSE, not a feature. All the new radios are way too sensitive for HF with
their stupid S-meters showing S more than 1 with no signals. You end up
listening to racket and riding the AGC level control.

It's crazy....
