Hi These S-meter settings sound like the readings when T7 is reversed. I have seen this several times and it makes the AGC and S-meter flaky as well as the sensitivity low. However you can make the radio appear to work although it just seems not quite right. The red wire winding should be closest to the IC U12 and the green winding should be closest to the jumper W3. Looking at another way the red winding should be in pads marked 3 and 4 and the green in 1 and 2. This may not be your problem but it is worth a look.
