No, but looking at the dial face, it looks like this is a set for the Chinese market? It only goes to 1610 on AM, and the two TV bands are channels 1-4 and 6-12 (channel 5 is somewhere around 92mhz).

There's no way I can determine to tune slowly in 10khz steps. The method you referenced (the same for the pl390) doesn't work, or I'm doing it wrong. Ken

I gave up trying to figure it out. Now I just manually enter each frequency. That takes fewer movements than dealing with the tuning knob. Ken

Tuner cleaner, or just spin the controls rapidly for a minute or two. I've done this several times, and it rescues the functions w/o breaking the pots. I think a film builds up that requires cleaning.

The controls on my 390 get balky when I don't use them enough, or when the batteries have just about lost power. Ken

In my opinion, this is a combination of factors. The tuning 'scheme' is difficult to use. I understand it, but I've stopped trying. I just manually enter the frequency I want to listen to. The other t
