Jim, sorry, I haven't forgotten about you; I've just been busy.

First - you should make sure all your connections were made properly, and that there are no wires touching each other where they should not be in the vicinity of the band switch.

For what it's worth, I just redid a 40-201, and it also is silent on the police and SW bands. Don't know why. But AM comes through loud and clear. Of course, this one was not working at all before I started restoring it; it had been sitting for years (decades?).

Second - I have no idea what that part might be Icon_confused:
