Well, the good news is that I had indeed replaced it, however I had it reversed polarity (DOH!) and now it's connected the right way around, we've got better sensitivity and, the quieter stations are reasonably clean sounding ish? The strongest signals are still crunching though..?

I've not unfortunately got any RF sig gen stuff and def not got a wobbulator! Anything else I can sniff around to test stuff?

Ta, Pete
