I like the radio. I almost kept it in the shack. I don't like how you have to have cat like reflexes spinning the knob to change bands before it defaults back. Seriously, why wasn't that fixed in the updates?

Slapped it in the Jeep XJ this afternoon. The ATAS tunes up nicely on advertised bands, except 40 meters. I'm experiencing common mode. When I key up, my fogs lights act as anmodulation indicator and I heard some kind of buzzing/clicking sound in the dash. SWR on 40 is pushing 2.0. I was sort of expecting something, since I put the antenna on the front bumper.

I believe I'll order a ball mount for the passenger rear quarter, or K400s mount for the rear hatch. Hopefully, this will minimize issues. I don't believe I have a grounding issue, but possible.
