Sangean ATS-803A
"EXCELLENT"

So, is your dad still working at the Nuclear power plant?  "Lisa Simpson" wrote in message . .. Must be nice! "Jim Hackett" wrote in message om... My ATS-803 is very sensitive off the whip... "Lisa Simpson" wrote in message . .. Yeah, I thought about that about 1/2 way thru the scan, it was positioned correctly, but to be sure I switched it back & forth a few times & rescanned. The receiver does pick up the strong signals on the dipole, which definitely puts into question the portability & therefore usefulness, but MAYBE this room has too much RFI for it (several computers). I'm gonna try it outside tomorrow on the whip & see . . . "Jim Hackett" wrote in message om... May be a stupid question BUT... Did you move the switch on the back by the antenna input? "Lisa Simpson" wrote in message . .. Bought a Sangean ATS-803A off ebay a couple weeks ago; worked well on AM & FM, absolutely no reception on SW. Sent it to Radio Shack for repair. They resoldered some broken solder joints & aligned it. Still doesn't pick anything up using the attached telescoping antenna, but picks up the strong stations using a dipole. Very disappointing. Anybody want it? |
