Hi Gang, I have a near mint President Washington (858) that I have recapped and aligned. The radio is performing perfectly except for the receiver sensitivity. On SSB it drops out at -100db and should be ok until around -125 to -130. I have other radios to compare it to and to also assure that my test gear is working ok. Also, the RF gain range (VR2) alignment pot does not seem to have any effect on it.
Any thoughts? The receive works. What could cause it to not be as sensitive?
