Here's a quick test. Disconnect the antenna from the rig. Turn up the gain a bit. Now reconnect the antenna. If the noise level increases, the rig is probably fine.

hi, just received my first tentec today - a delta 580. not sure what to
think yet as it has a totally different feel and sound than the japanese
radios - noise floor is definetely lower and signals seem to pop out. its a
nice radio, will take some getting use to - the feel is a bit rougher than
the japanese radios but then again this radio is approaching 30 years old!

it seems to be a little insensitive on 10 meters - 10 meter probagation is
not great, but i'm not hearing the loud pops and clicks as i scan the 10
meter bands. has any other delta owners noticed this? any help would be
appreciated. tia, john
