Routing the cables when adding the second RX was very tricky and caused birdies to appear and disappear while being moved around. Though it is an added cost, a premade wiring harness to enforce a tested good routing would be useful.
Or perhaps if there was an actual size template of a wiring harness to be assembled as part of the kit, with some pre-printed stickers to put on the cables. Precise routing is fairly left to chance as currently implemented. I also hear far less birdies (next to none relatively) tuning across the band in CW, vs. SSB. To be fair, most birdies are buried in a busy band without effect, and require a dead band to hear them. In mine there were three that were obnoxious enough to bother killing them with the menu device. I do NOT experience related audio gaps as reported by some others. I DO get gaps if I overcorrect. 73, Guy.
