I called Jensen and discussed my issues with the 970.

1) The tech blamed the issue of reception compared to a vehicle on the lack of a ground plane under the radio antenna compared to a vehicle. Good point ! I might put a ground plane under my antenna.

2) The tech acknowledged the cumbersome tuning. He didn't have any solution for it, no software update and said that the sister radios (968, 975) all tune the same.
