      If the Low (Mid) band isn't working on your Realistic Receiver, but Air, Hi, and UHF bands are, it could be due to: * A defective Low band RF Amp, mixer, or VCO circuit, needing inspection and replacement of the circuit components. * Defective IC-9, 10, 0117 or associated components, which should be replaced.

      Kelly BensonSep 12, 2025
      If the Aircraft band doesn't work on your Realistic Receiver while Low, High, and UHF bands do, the problem may be: * Defective D105, 107, 0114, 115 or associated components, which should be replaced. * A defective AM IF Amp including 0120, 121, D120, requiring replacement of the AM IF Amp or associated components.

      Jennifer JacksonSep 14, 2025
      If the Aircraft and High bands aren't working on your Realistic Receiver, but the Low and UHF bands are, it might be caused by: * Defective 0104 -106 in the RF Amp mixer or VCO circuit, needing inspection and replacement. * Defective 0114 -116 in the band switch circuit, which should be replaced.
