Also if you keep the rig in the sun, the *tons (electrons, phototrons, neutrons, etc) emitted by the sun will mess up your VFO by adding or carrying away the various *trons. I keep a cardboard box over mine while outside, minimizes the problem....and if it rains, just the static from the antenna wreaks havoc...let alone the raintrons coming down the coax.
