Well, I replaced the power cord yesterday and now the radio is working pretty well. Last night I was able to pick up AM stations from Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, and Kansas City. Shortwave from Cuba, Venezuela, Canada, Isreal, China...lots of others....plus that crazy Spanish counting lady.
Will need to recap when I have time. The unit runs somewhat hot so hopefully that (and replacing the high value resisitors) will take care of it (Although I don't know how hot it is supposed to get)
The coarse bandwith adjuster is fairly...well...coarse. But there is also a fine tuning knob that makes it easy enough to tune in stations. It meets my needs as someone who isn't a dedicated shortwave listener, but does enjoy playing around with it from time to time and getting different perspectves on news and world music.
