Very strange. Fairly new radio. Fresh batteries.

Set to AM (medium and shortwave). Ensured no USB.
No stations. Just noise.
FM works perfectly.
Grateful for any ideas please.

According to the information from eBay, the frequency ranges available are:
  • FM: 76-108 MHz, 87-108 MHz
  • MW (AM): 520-1710 kHz, 522-1620 kHz
  • LW: 100-519 kHz
  • SW: 1711-29999 kHz
  • AIR: 118 – 137 MHz
Your AM frequencies look like regular AM broadcasts for the public.

The back of your radio has the same information except for the "(AM)" part after MW.

If it is new and still not working send it back as sp5it said.
 
I have experienced exactly the same problem.
I assume mine is a dud.
Their quality control must be appalling.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • @ Hambones amps:
    Does anyone know if you can replace the 2290 in a galaxy dx 93t twin turbine with a 2sc2879 red dot? If so, what would have to be tuned?
  • @ ShadowDelaware:
    Hambones the entire amp section would have to be retuned, and the rf transformers re wrapped.
