Default Hallicrafters S-38 lack of sensitivity on the HF bands


"Rod" wrote in message
oups.com...
I'm working on a Hallicrafters S-38 and have already recapped the radio
and even changed a few resistors that measured a bit high. I receive
loads of stations on the standard broadcast band, but the radio is not
nearly as sensitive on bands 2, 3, and 4. Anyone have some help with
this one? Perhaps an alignment would do the trick? Or is there
something else? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.


What are you using for an antenna?

Well, that could be a reason. I'm down in the basement with just a
short piece of wire that I connected for testing purposes. Perhaps I
should try something better. I have some dipoles strung for my ham
station. Perhaps that is all that's needed.
