I use my 32V3 on 80 and 40 mostly and do not find it hard to tune at all.
Since it was my only exciter for a while, it was jumping between 80 and 40 a 
lot...

Its easy to work on in some parts, the audio is easy, the power supply you 
just take the back off,the tubes are all easy to get to.
Almost like an r390 with the gears and so on...not a lot of fun.
