Default Re: No LW/MW receive - Sony ST-S311

My initial thought was that static build up, or, the cumulative effect of the high RF fields present on our site (due to a rather large TV tower...) might have damaged the front end, but looking at it, it seems the antenna is effectively grounded through the coils of the input filters. I had thought of adding a 100k bleed resistor when ive repaired it, but it seems its not necessary.

All I can really do for now though is wait for the IC to arrive
