I have an older S3, 1969 finals, the receive is very noisy. I am unable to tell if I am running the 11 meter freqs because I can not hear, it seems like a very small amount of incoming signal gets in once in a while, it has awesome sounding audio coming through the talk back and has good output into my dummy load. Any ideas?

Thanks Lee

is it noisy on both 11 and 10 meter.could be
picking up some strong electical interference
disconnect antenna if it tottally disappears id think your recieving interference thru your antenna
[no cure] if its still there but at a much lower
level [less s-units] then the recieve section might be overtuned.hopefully others will chime in this is just my best guess

My Uniden Grant XL works great on the same antenna, I am pretty sure some part went bad, probably just send it back to Magnum for repair. Thanks Lee
