I would add to Bill's list of problems the fact that the things are 
terrible HF hash generators.  We bought one.  It works.  The new rule 
is "Absolutely no microwave use while Grumps is on the radio!"  I 
hope noone in the neighborhood gets one and decides to do a turkey in 
it.

Whether it could be made more HF friendly or not, I don't know.
