Unless I just had some bad receivers, this series of receiver were just too
unstable. I found that placing an all plastic tuning tool into the area
between the tuning capacitor and the oscillator module caused the receiver
to shift frequency. The projection tuning systemwas another problem. THe
radio was completely analog in readout and setability to frequency was poor
at best. With the encrypted TTY modes that the military used, the receivers
were just not suitable.
