    TO ALL THOSE WHO HAD SUGGESTIONS FOR THE A1 TROUBLE I WAS HAVING.  THIS IS WHAT I DISCOVERED.  A1 GOES TO THE REAR WAFER, INNER SIDE TO THE ALUMINUM WALL.  THERE IS NO CONTINUITY FROM A1 TO THE 4 LUGS FOR EACH BAND.  IF I PUT A JUMPER FROM A1 TO THE BAND ONE LUG THE NORMAL SENSITIVITY RETURNS, BAND 2 LUG ETC. I CANNOT SEE BEHIND THE WAFER TO SEE WHY BECAUSE IT IS TOO CLOSE TO THE WALL.  I THINK I AM SUNK BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE BAND SWITCH APART.  I WAS THINKING OF "BRINGING" THE 4 LUGS OUT OF THE RADIO WITH A CABLE TO A EXTERNAL SWITCH BOX 1 THRU 4 CORRESPONDING TO THE BAND SWITCH AND CONNECT THE ANT IT. IT'S HOKEY BUT IF I WANT FULL SENSITIVITY THIS IS WHAT I CAN DO.  DAN
