The tuner wobbles quite a bit. Even after I tightened the nut, which was
loose. Poor poor build quality. 'Don't even like using the phrase
"build..."quality" in this case.
The first thing to fall off, after removing it from its box, was the SSB
BFO knob. I seems the knobs are too short and don't reach far enough along
the shafts.
'Had to use about 4 pounds tugging pressure to release the whips' swivel
base from whatever was holding it inside the radio.
Is this a lemon, I don't think so. It's more like par for the course.
