Greetings; Recently I tried AM reception on my FT 990. I tuned to all the AM frequencies but all I got was muddled receptions on all the bands. I did this on various days/nights and different times. I'm using a coax fed vertical antenna, turned off all the filters, etc. but still got heavily muffled reception. What am I doing wrong? By the way, SSB reception is great. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to try AM ragchewing. Thanks, Jim W9AVN |

Jim, Press the 2.4 kHz bandwidth button while in the AM mode. That will disable the 2.4 kHz filter and give you a better frequency response. Bob Allison, WB1GCM ARRL Test Engineer |
