My new R-4C arrived today. very nice piece of gear. Sensitivity
appears to be down, 10uv and the signal is just about gone. No "S"
meter activity at all no matter how much signal i pump into the antenna
jack. Well, only up to 2 volts of RF anyway and that certainly
shouldn't bother it. No manual accompanied the radio so without any
reference literature, what's the lineup here for trouble shooting this
thing? I know it will hear a lot better than it does. I had an R-4B
years back and it was a nice hot little receiver. This one is a real
beauty so i'm hoping i can get it back to normal.
BTW, it came with 3 cw filters. Oh yes, and what are the three markings
on the AGC control, fast-medium and slow? I thot so.
