OK, thanks. In the meantime, I had the radio on and what does this tell you: with no antenna wire or ground, I get the three strong stations crystal clear. However, the volume control does nothing. They are all at about the correct listening level, but I can't increase or decrease the volume. (I've checked the pot with my DVOM and it's fine) Adding my long wire does not increase the signal or volume. Now if I go up to a station 25 miles away (580), I need the long wire and at that station, the volume works as it should. If I tune down to 910 ( a strong local station), I still can't turn it down in volume. That control on the far right has some effect, but I can never get a strong station to go from nothing to very loud.
