My question is on the antenna connection points on the radio. There are SW A and B connectins and a MW connection. The manual says that an antenna should be connected to MW for freqs under 2mHz and to use the SW connection for freqs avove 2mHz.
I find very little improvement by using the SW connections for any freq.
First thing to do is make sure the antenna switch for short wave is slid over to connect the proper input terminal.Don't ask me how I know. The set has two jacks, allowing you to use two different SW antennas alongside the medium wave one.
What's with the dial calibration ring. There's nothing to calibrate, it's just a log scale (I think).
That's a good question. It does seem redundant. I usually turn to 10.000khz display on the digital readout then zero the spread dial. that makes the mechanical settings match the received signal.
There is a PDF file review here. It may not be very good quality, but is readable:

Schematics and instructions for the care and feeding of the R-1000 may be downloaded here in the form of zipped files:

Note that thee is a two file per day limit for downloads here. They have to limit bandwidth usage somehow.
Hope you enjoy the radio. It's fun to use and very reminiscent of the Yaesu FRG-7 in it's tuning.
