But the fact that Bands 2 & 3 are so alive, points out that what
ever's wrong with the AM BC band 1 is peculiar to that band, and not
the radio as a whole,
The S-38s are not very good AM band performers. The reason bands 2 and 3
sound so "alive" is usually because of severe image rejection problems.
It's not uncommon on these radios to receive 31 meter band station images
between 8 and 9 MHz that are almost as strong as the primaries between 9
and 10 MHz. The higher the frequency goes, the worse the image problem is.
Therefore, you're receiving each station twice, making it sound like the
band is more alive than it really is.
