Total Trash Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Took 4 months shipping time from UK.
Only 2 of 5 bands actually worked.
I opened the case and found 2 broken connections and some bad solder joints.
This is the poorest constructed device I have ever bought. Parts were crammed together and hot glued in place. The DC power jack is an oddball being way too tight for the included DC power cable which, BTW, was open.
I worked on it and managed to get one more band to operate. It has a huge amount of attenuation or loss. Tuning is fairly sharp and it's a shame it's not better constructed as the design does have possibilities.
I spoke to the company rep who offered a refund upon receiving it back but I deemed it not worth the effort.
Personally I wouldn't trust anything they make after seeing the inside of this piece of junk.
