This does not apply to my Omni-V .... and I'm interested to know if
mine is an oddball in this respect. I very rarely reduce the RF gain
below 2 PM. Normally it sits at 3PM plus or minus. On 17m and above,
its not unusual to have it nearer 4 PM, certainly on 10m.
Audio gain is the opposite; it runs mostly at 9-10 AM.
If I ran the RF down below 12 I'd be surprised if I heard anything
except rock-crushing BC stations on 40m. I certainly hear no antenna
noise at all with the gain that low on 20m and up. All I hear is
IF/audio noise.
But it sounds to me as if Charles' radio is in pretty good shape by
comparison with mine. Maybe I really do need to look at those J-310s.
