[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, that is funny that you are stressing my SX8000 or even mention it, if you ever invest the effort to read the site, or at least the thread then you would understand how out of context your manner. The AF1/Micro is kin...

Interesting, mats.The unit is not “complex device with many settings”. All those settings have own meaning and if you know how a tuner works then there is absolutely nothing menacing in those adjustments. You went for R...
