[TenTec] 1254 receiver sensitivity

[Al Parker]

Hi,
	I know this list is practically non-existent, but maybe some folks are 
still getting it (I hope).  (I've been subscribed to this list for 6-8 
yrs, haven't seen anything lately, thought it was defunct.)
	I'm trying to get a 1254 all band rcvr going for a local octogenarian. 
He bought it some yrs ago built, says it did work well, but quit.
	It works, sort of, it's very insensitive.  Will hear a 50uv signal but 
not 1uv.  Does know that WWV is there at 10mc, but not strong enuf to 
hear the audio.
	I rebooted the microprocessor, it might have gotten marginally better. 
I know they weren't known for super sensitivity, but this one's pretty 
hard of hearing.
	Any tips for us?
tnx, 73,

Al, W8UT
