I've been using one for about 5 years. No complaints here. It's logged
several thousand Rover miles without a minutes trouble.
I generally run both 6 & 2 at 100 watts, no amps here... I've been
really happy with the receiver. I'm sure there are better rigs out
there, but for the money I don't believe you can beat it. Around the
southern Indiana area crowded bands are not a problem, but I've heard
they do pretty well with an added filter.
Plus you get a great HF rig too!
