I sometimes like to do a little Broadcast Band DX, takes me back to my
high schools days with my GE transistor radio under the pillow. I think
some of you know the story. ;-) At any rate, I have the general
coverage module installed in the main receiver, but I have found the
sensitivity of it in the broadcast band to be horrible. I can hook up
my Palstar R40 and get a 40 over signal from a station, but with the K3
hooked up to the same antenna that station is an S4 -- just barely
over the noise level. This is a station 100 miles way that I could
receive on that old GE transistor radio at what would have at least been
an S9 signal. Therefore, at this juncture, the K3 is totally not up to
the job when it comes to broadcast band DX hunting. What's up here?
