No AM Receive on President Jackson

#115279

Post by 225/Greg »

I have a President Jackson with the shiney faceplate. One day my receive went out on AM only. When I switch to AM the meter shows about half but no sound. SSB works fine. FM has noise but the needle is still registering about half way. When I switch to SSB the receive is fine. Oh, I tested and I can still transmit on all modes including AM/FM and SSB. Additiionally, one of my LED light segment went out on the channel selector. Can this be repaired or can I get another LED channel selector.

Ok, anyone home? The radio don't have any ears on AM, just 7 lbs. of silence on the meter. SSB receive is fine. The LED light segment is manageable. Any ideas?
