[Kenwood] TS-530S low RX on 40m

[Steve H]

I have a condition where rx on this band seems very low.  Sort of present on 
20m at times too.

The S meter  barely moves at all, theres no noise level but I can hear 
stations.
The drive knob kind of behaves like a really wide tuner where the signals 
get higher
as you move it fully ccw.

When I put the cal signal on, I can hear it but theres no s meter level at
all.

Other bands seem to have noise levels and the drive / tune function
resonates properly, but overall
I think the rx gain seems sort of lacking "robust" is the best way to
describe it.

I posted about this in a Kenwood hybrid group and I think they said its a 
common problem in most of some of the
hybrids, but cannot recall what they said actually is going on causing it. I 
remember they said the cal signal ought to be
alot stronger than what I reported.

I caught alof of flack from them for not "reading the manuals" first before 
posting for help, then somehow what I said as a reply was
studied by the mods, and deemed as "threatening" so I left, and thought I 
would try here.
