When I discovered the counter I purchased was useless, I asked for a replacement because I thought it was faulty. Instead, I was told to ship it back and they refunded my money. Seller was not interested in sending out a replacement. I wonder why? I didn't have to pay return postage either, so the cost to the seller must have been a few quid plus the refund.

I had intended to try another one at one point, as I have a little HF receiver to build that would benefit from a counter. I'm not so sue about this now. I may look around for something else.

As with a few of you, I was going to buy one of these pending a members review. I can safely say I now won't be.
Never, ever, ever....bloody anything ever!

Far too many radio's to list here. But I do own a legal one...

Yeah, good move.

Even though they only cost a few quid, it would be a complete waste of your time.
