Does this happen primarily in AM mode? If so, it could be interference
from another signal on a nearby frequency. If that's the case, tuning
slightly above or below the frequency should help. Shifting over to Su
or Sl might also solve the problem.

Yes mostly in AM. I tried that but I could still hear the popping. It was
almost gone in An mode though. I have to find the right setup like you
said.

What I find strange is let's say I get a lock on a station in ASu or ASL
and say the little finger hole on the tuning dial is at 1:00 o'clock.
I lose the lock and then moving the dial a little in either direction
doesn't relock it. Say to 10:00 or 3:00

I have to turn the dial a full rotation or more to get a new lock. Is this
normal??





I found out what was going on here.
There are quite a few variables that happen when tuning the radio.

1] Tuning rate changes with speed of dial rotation

2] Tuning rate changes yet again for some other modes

3] Lock can get lost or shift when changing even in other AS modes.

So at first it looked to me like something was wrong. After using it for a
while you see the pattern. All in all I think it's a nifty little radio.
A real novelty item for sure too.

BTW

I remember I asked how much an original Lowe keypad for this radio went for.
Well take a look. Almost $71. I really feel I got a good deal on mine for
$500 since it included the keypad, USA power supply and batteries/orig
manual. The last 150 sold for $465 with no US power supply and no keypad.
