Out of the attic
I was up in my attic the other day and holy moly it's freezing up there so I thought I would pull my radio's out of storage and put them downstairs where it's not minus 1000 degrees. Anyway I plug the Cobra 148 in and it has drifted way off frequency and so has my SS360FM, Not a problem to chuck them on the counter and tune them back up but my little Stalker ST-9F-DX was still bang on and needs no tuning. Weird eh. Got to love a Stalker

Re: Out of the attic
Did you leave them to warm up to livingroom temperature for a day or two before trying them?
I can't get going when it's bloody cold and radios may be the same

I powered them up about an hour or so after I brought them down. They are still the same now, Stalker bang on and the 148 and 360 all over the shop

Least you know your loft is well insulated if it's like a walk in fridge.
