      <p><p><span>Hi..</span></p><p><span>Just notices my 780 XTL is not receiving well, certainly not on VHF . This post may be premature, as I have not started detailed troubleshooting, but I have the gut feeling (due to similar front end problems in other radios) that some near-by Lightning or RF has taken out the front end.</span></p><p><br><span></span></p><p><span>Air band/BC FM&nbsp; &quot;seems&quot; ok, although weaker signal strength than I would normally expect ( Its been a long time since I have used the 780) , UHF and higher seem ok...but that&#39;s in just flipping through....I have to do more detail testing.</span></p><p><br><span></span></p><p><span>Before I go on a tangent, is the VHF front end pre-amp, or any BPF known to be a common&nbsp; repair item on the 780? I will c
 heck usual RF connection to C.B. problems etc, but I doubt that is it...<br></span></p><p><br><span></span></p><p><span>I will report back, but any heads-up on sensitivity issues for the 780 would be appreciated.</span></p><p><br><span></span></p><p><span>Archive search didnt find any past posts<br></span></p><p><br><span></span></p><p><span>thx</span></p><p><span>&nbsp;Gregtheham<br></span></p></p>
