Kenneth & Thierry

thanks for your answers.

I have found many articles on the web (including the Surplus Conversion
Manuals), but nowhere I found a clear statement that the ART-13 cannot work on
80 meters with a 50-ohm antenna (and that a modification is therefore
necessary).

At present, my main concern is to ascertain whether my particular ART-13 has got
a problem (I hate to have radios that are not perfectly functional), or instead
all ART-13s do not work on 80 meters - by their design - with a 50-ohm antenna.

In the second case, I will just give it up and use - on 80 meters - one of the
many other AM radios I have.

Same conclusion for 10 meters (I have seen that complex modification, but it may
perhaps be worthwhile for those having just a single radio).

Check on the ARRL website and search the QST back issue index for
articles from the late 40's through early '60s and you should find some
articles on the ART13.

Hi folks, Antonio,

you can download the three volumes of the Surplus Conversion Manuals he
