Well, if you wanna wait for the possibility of a new tuner manufacturing run happening, you could just plug a cheap hand held radio into the AUX in of the empeg. Just a thought. Not to mention, i guarantee that once you get the empeg installed, you won't listen to the radio as much as you think. I've used my tuner 3 times since installing it months ago, Once to see if it worked, and twice for weather updates.
