AK Model 42 Transformer Ground?

[Kevin Kuehn]

I think I've tried every other configuration from rheostat to grid. I have a Model 37 that works well. It's nearly identical to the Model 42, but instead of the antenna transformer it simply has a choke from grid to ground. I was thinking of disconnecting the antenna transformer and using the choke from the older set just to see what happens. Your thoughts?

Hmm. I think something else is wrong. When you hooked the antenna directly to the 1st RF grid, it effectively took the volume control out of the equation. I need to think about this for a while.
