Good news everyone! - Hubert Q Farnsworth

I've tested the radio yesterday for an hour and it works perfectly and crystal clear on FM, PU.

LW/ MW works very well, receive many stations, but with some static…
SW doesn't give me any stations, but give static. I think we don't have anymore SW AM stations in Belgium…

I just need to change my pre-amp, because the output gain is to low for the radio to pick up at normal volume levels.

And the cat-eye burns brighter and wider, the resistor of 470K was completely runoff to 2M2…

Thank you all for your help!

Cheers,

Laurens
