Steve,
I had a DX-40, also, when I got rid of the Globechief Deluxe. I got a
VF1 for it as a present from the guy who owned Universal Service
Radio. I know it chirped, but it never drifted, at least not on mine.
I had the National NC-101-X for a receiver and used that receiver
until 1971. I finally got a tuning aid in 1970. Haw!
