Typical troll response - showing his head is once again (or still?) up
his arse.
But it's not clear what the story is on this. Elsewhere, he said he'd
just bought it, and was looking for tips on getting it working.
Somewhere else he was looking for filters for AM and CW. I thought one
of the posts was about getting it repaired, or tips on getting it
going. Yet he's also trying to sell it. Maybe he took too big a bite,
buying it and then realizing he's unable to repair it himself. But
these posts are about
the same time, not a shift of thinking over time.

The SB-303 is a good receiver. I'd love to add it to my shack - but the
XYL would have a fit.
I think it's pretty clear - he bought it, and quickly found out he bit
off more than he could chew. It doesn't have to take all that long to
figure it out.
What I've always hated are guys who think they are competent and try to
fix it themselves. Without exception they make more of a mess of it
than they started with.
Like the guy who had a broken wiper on a squelch control. It was
sticking, so he oiled it... (true story, unfortunately!). Must of been
one of Gareth's CB buddies.
