Oh mine was working excellent last night for it's first time listening
on the air 40m. Heard South Africa and some South Pacific islands on 40m
after I peaked the 40m bandpass filter. The only issue I had was that
regulator & that was a piece of cake to troubleshoot & repair. So far I
am totally impressed with this kit & it's design, well worth the money
spent.
