Aaron:
Remember, the stock antenna is an all-purpose antenna, made mainly for VHF
and UHF.
If you want more HF reception, you'll have to connect the radio to a longer
wire, or some sort of antenna that is made to be more closely resonant on
those frequencies.
I have done this, and it works.
So, it's likely that there's nothing at all wrong with your new THF6A.
