Your kidding, right? I have an Alinco ALR-072T UHF rig. In 50+ years of
building, designing, repairing, and operating electronic equipment I have
never seen such a sorry excuse for a piece of electronics gear. It looks
inside to be a second grade science project that got an "D-". I have never
seen poorer quality control, with solder balls all over it, rosin you could
write in, wires laid out in what might be best described as the used-SOS-pad
layout. The manual seems to be about a sixth generation translation from the
original Sanskrit and printed on a used linoleum block for a cub scout merit
badge.
Hopefully, Alinco has improved things over the years.
My personal opinion: Alinco = Wheel chock
YMMV
