[R-390] Below 500 kHz mod, again?

[Cecil Acuff]

This was posted from Walter Wilson in January of 2001:

<HSN issue 2 pages 3-4, or HSN reprints page 10 have the information you
<need.  The simple solution is to couple the antenna via a 0.05 mF capacitor
<to test point E209.  This bypasses the antenna coils and RF stage, but
<allows you to receive longwave signals.  Some people have used the
<unbalanced input to feed directly around the RF amplifier stage to E209
<through the coupling capacitor, and they hook their longwave antenna to the
<unbalanced connector.  I have not tried either of these.


I found this while searching the archives....which ain't as easy as it used
to be I might add...so much for progress!
