[Hallicrafters] SX 101 Sensitivity

[Mark Bell]

I use my SX-101A as a "daily driver" for 10 and 15 AM work.  Excellant
receiver.   I suggest you start lookng at the obvious places, such as
checking for weak tubes, and replacing the wax paper caps.   I suspect that
will probably clear up the problem.

> Hello to the group.  I have an SX 101 that I have completely recapped and
replaced tubes as necessary.  I have checked all voltages as per the manual
and all are within specs.  I have cleaned the band switch with Deoxit using
Q tips.  Works very well on 160/80/40, but sensitivity drops drastically on
20/15/10.  Same results in usb/lsb.  If anyone has any ideas as to what I am
overlooking I would really appreciate hearing from you.
