Arran, I probably didn't make myself clear. I do not have a long wire on it, meaning I don't get a lot of stations. Those that do come in nice and clear and sharp on the tuning. I'm certain the radio would do nicely on a long wire. The sound quality out of my 112, is quite nice. Hope the 111 is as nice. Right now with nothing done to it, quite tinney. Shall see what happens as I get into it. Have not removed the bottom cover to see what has been done but from the top, other than tubes nothing. I guess I couldn't expect much from 5 feet of wire on my original test where we have very little AM stuff around within 300 miles. What is "local", very low transmitting power. We set in a major ditch which tends to attenuate FM bad and AM to a great extent.
My 112 was totally gone through and aligned, it has a 2 foot antenna and works well with the local and my SSTRANS. All I need.
Thanks for your input.
