Disconnect your antenna from the back of the rig. Turn up the volume and
listen to the noise. Connect the antenna and see if the noise increases. If
so, it's probably sensitive enough. If not, it's probably broken.

Subject: [TenTec] Lost Sensitivity?
I believe my Omni V may have lost sensitivity on 15, 12 and 10M. I hear
only the weakest signals.
While it may be conditions, I can't even hear DX spots being put up here in
Michigan.
My question is...
Is there a way to test sensitivity without owning a signal generator? How
do others check to see if it's conditions, your antenna or your receiver
when things go quiet? A second rig or a signal generator would be nice, but
neither are readily available.
Just looking for a quick and easy way to check the rig.
