I built this radio years ago, and I am finding it is surplus to my needs. It is very rugged and it features components that are through-hole construction. It has been upgraded to the TiCK-4, so it can do what the old TiCKs could and record messages too. Runs on 12 volts, easily puts 5 watts out and has a reallywonderful receiver. Break-in as smooth as silk. It has a 10-turn pot and tunes from 14.005 to 14.080 and it can be adjusted to your tastes. I have the original manual, and the TiCK-4 data sheet. I have worked the world with this little radio many times over. It is a joy. This is one of those tools that has never faltered. If you like, we could do a sked and you could hear what it sounds like.
