Does anyone here remember Fred the Wheel Tapper from an RAF poster of the ‘60s. Fred’s job was to find cracks in the wheels of railway carriages. He’d whack them with his hammer and if they didn’t sound right he’d have them changed. This cost the railway company a fortune until someone discovered that Fred’s hammer was cracked.
So, of all the radios you’ve tried, have they been through the same shop with the same test equipment and same tech? Just curious.
