Hi Gary,
I have this receiver and use it successfully. Mine was accidentally run over
(barely clipped by a car's rear wheel) by the previous owner. I am
interested in hearing your assessment of the radio's performance to
determine which problems are due to the previous abuse of the radio and
which are due to any design weaknesses.
