And they stand athe test of time Steve. I've had this one for
perhaps fifteen years. Right after I got it, a friend went through
it with a sig. generator and it really wasn't badly out of allignment
and isn't today. Switches could use a bit of contact cleaner but I
think all of the parts started out high quality. At this location,
though I just don't have enough room to have everything out and
working. And yes, I'd have killed for a NC300 back when I was a kid ham!!
