Oh -- I'm certainly not recommending it, nor am I suggesting they did it
intentionally. Rather, I'm observing that it's a common manufacturing
defect, and certainly not limited to Astron. I've seen it in products
from many manufacturers, including older Elecraft products (the band
decoders), but they've long since gotten religion and fixed that issue.
