Got myself this tuner yesterday. 1500/- from Chor Bazar. Have been repeatedly visiting this place just looking to pick up a fine tuner and here it is at long last! Very nice. Came with a loop antenna, had to re-solder the wire as one lead had come off, and it worked fine. Have tried only FM. Don't have AM/SW antenna and not really planning to rig one up. Tuning is thru' analog horizontal knob and quite forgiving of lock position (eg 91.1 MHz locks over a fairly wide range and not at a pin-point location on the dial). There is an orange lamp to indicate tuning lock. Of course one can go by the ear too. Tried a Sansui digital display, up/down button tuning type model. Too tedious to tune from one freq to next as each press of the button had an increment of 0.1 MHz. So favoured the Technics. While tuning from one freq to next, there is a suppression of the FM static. Very nice touch.
Downside is I realised how bad Mumbai FM stations sound (in terms of sonic balance):sad:.
