[TenTec] Frequency Stability

[Martin, AA6E]

That's not bad for a free-running VFO.

I used my '520S for nearly 30 years of very satisfactory hamming,
including PSK31 and CW. Zero firmware updates or system crashes!  It
is still my backup rig in case of EMP or who-knows-what.

How many of today's rigs will be running in 30 years?
