I must say, when I worked Gary the first night, he had the loudest signal
I have ever heard on the TS-430S. Of course, Gary is only a couple of
miles as the crow flies from my QTH.
His signal was so strong, even with the narrow filter, I could hear his
signals plainly on the opposite side of the zero beat, about S6 --
something I have never heard before on this radio.
