This may be one of those radios that the frequency counter counts up and down, the last digit changing all the time. Additionally the SSB frequency accuracy may drift with temperature changes. We have also found that when echo is turned OFF, that a little bit of tone can be heard on TX. We cannot change these things, it has been that way with some radios for many years. If you can't live with it, please don't buy this radio. Thank you.
