Hehehe. Brian, you old dog, I'll drink one for you.

Why thank you John, I'll drink one to you too or three or
etc............................................... .....lol.


On a more radio related note, I think you are an owner of a SP-600? Right?
Anyhow, if you have used one of them, have you ever noticed any frequency
instability above 30 MHz? My electronic readout gets really jumpy above 30
MHz
and I haven't seen that problem reported before in various groups that I
read.

Yea I got a couple. Hum? It may be the readout circuit itself? Without
looking at the digital readout does everything seam copasetic in regards to
sensitivity, selectivity and are signals where there supposed to be on the
analog dial?

Everything works well on the rig and I haven't had any problems with selectivity
or sensitivity and all controls work well. In fact, when I lived in Montreal,
thanks primarily to the crystal phasing taking out Buffalo on 1520 kHz, I was
able to nail down Saudi Arabia on 1521. The R-390A and the HQ-180C couldn't cut
it with clear and clean reception. The digital readout is a Communications
Concepts Inc. unit that works well on all bands. It does generate some birdies
but is not too bad otherwise. The frequency readout goes crazy to the high end
of the 29.7-54.0 MHz band and everything seems okay otherwise.

It's not a pressing issue as I don't listen up around 54 MHz all that often.
Just curious to see if anyone else has had a similar problem.
