[TenTec] 560 Problem

[Paul Valko - W8KC]

Bill,

You'll want to look at the preamplifier section of the radio.  Although I
have to admit it will be a challenge until you call the fellows in
Sevierville and order up their outstanding owners manual.

By the way... the rig works best (and that means better than virtually any
multi-thousand buck rig from our friends in Japan) with the preAmp OFF, AGC
OFF, audio UP, and RF gain turned down.  No foolin'
