kj0002--I have a 40-180 chassis inside my 40-190 cabinet... if you average them you get a 40-185. (Just kidding... but it IS essentially the same chassis.) I can't get anything on my shortwave channel either. I'm assuming the bandwidth switch works, as I get variations in the caliber of static, but no actual broadcasts. Fortunately someone ran a long wire in the attic a hundred million years ago... I will have to strap my radio to that and see if I can pull something in.

The 40-150/155/180/185/190 chassis pulls in some darn nice sound once you do the necessary overhauls. Icon_biggrin
