If they do, hit the audio pot with a tiny squirt of WD-40 and see if that doesn't rejuvenate it. Give it 20 stop to stop cranks. |

I have never used it. As I get spun up for a "new" life as a live-aboarder I am contemplating the stuff I will need and have been looking at the FRG-7. Is it a reasonable/useful item to have aboard? Any enlightenment will be appreciated.
