"...little tubby sounding " is an understatement. I also have one.
Why does it sound so poorly ? Has anyone ever try to modify /
disect / improve it ? Nice box, but what an awful audio ...

One of my favorite brushes with greatness was the afternoon I met Henry
Kloss in a meeting room at the 1995 NSCA convention in Indianapolis. He
was very excited about his latest project, a simple radio, like the
Model 8 he had built 40 years earlier.

Did you ever see one of these?

Dumb ****!


A nice A****er Kent would be great ... but, hey, if they can sell chit
to idiots, why bother.

HOMOPROBE! roflol!

You have to suspend it in mid air (like on a $15 OSH stool). If there
are no boundaries nearby it sounds OK. They probably designed it with a
computer, or in an anechoic environment. Henry Kloss would use his ears.

Ahh, old Kloss, weird buggar. Heard he, also, often suspended radios on
little wires off his gonads when testing and adjusting them ... great
minds are just hard to understand, I guess. ROFLOL

.... just can't seem to remember where I heard that rumor from ...
