AM Short Wave Radio Kit  (280-0176)   Troubleshooting  Faxback Doc. # 6949

IN CASE YOU HAVE TROUBLE (WE HOPE YOU DON'T, BUT JUST IN CASE YOU DO)...

1.  Make sure the 9V battery has been installed correctly.

2.  Try a new battery.  If the Battery is weak or dead, your Radio won't
    work.

3.  Go back through this manual and recheck each step.  A good way to do
    this is with a colored pencil and mark on the illustrations the
    wiring that you have done on your unit-then you can see where you
    might have gone wrong.

4.  Check your wired unit 

5.  Be especially careful as you check the wiring of the Transistors and
    electrolytic capacitor.  Recheck the illustrations to be sure.

6.  It's always a good idea to have a friend double check your work.
    You might be overlooking the same mistake time and again.

7.  When noise is a problem in SW1 reception, make sure that the SW1
    antenna coil is flush with the left end of the antenna rod.
