[R-390] R-390A help needed

Hi Karsten,
Does the "inferior sensitivity" of your R-390A only occurs on specific bands, if so which ones ?
You seemed to initially asking for somebody near your location that can perform an alignment on your R-390A.
Does this mean that you do not have the proper equipment and/or knowledge to perform it yourself ?

I am too far away from you to provide that kind of help, I fear.

To all doubters:
my splitter/combiner ist a standard circuit, many solutionss can be found on the web. From .3 to 30 MHz both output ports exhibit the same signal amplitude when each port is terminated with 50 Ohms. The difference in receiving performance is definitely that my R-390A is inferior to my 51S-1 which it should not be. I use the symmetric antenna input of the R-390A with a balun that transforms 120 Ohms symmetric to 50 Ohms unsymmetric.
