Even now, with an Icom IC-7300 and several other competent rigs, it is my favourite. It has survived a nasty car accident and even held out through a catastrophic bushfire. I use the gen coverage rxcvr for many purposes, and with the optional AM board fitted, it does sterling service listening to Australia-wide AM services. It's a simple to use, no frills, intuitive radio which continues to soldier on with no sign of slowing down. Thanks for the review. Mark.

Only problem monemhas is even though it will xmit in am mode, the receive cuts out leaving a number on the readout from time to time. Going to let a local ham radio store fix that problem since I do like to listen to sw.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995075161681902702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257969024785424513.post-35411470733145366682018-05-01T14:57:55.153-04:002018-05-01T14:57:55.153-04:00Gracias, Daniel!Gracias, Daniel!AA4LRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17802093412804980377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257969024785424513.post-90349209237031798482018-05-01T14:31:53.934-04:002018-05-01T14:31:53.934-04:00Hola AA4LR, buen dia.

Te comento que soy principiante en HAM y estoy realizando el curso para obtener mi licencia LU.... Estoy armando mi estacion y justamente estaba buscando comentarios sobre equipos para ver si me ayuda a decidir por cual. Estoy entre un Yaesu FT 757 GX y el Kenwood TS 430 S. Ambos en perfecto estado de funcionamiento y al mismo precio practicamente. Mi presupuesto da para uno de estos dos equipos. Me gustaria algo mas nuevo, pero por el momento me conformo con uno de ellos que son muy buenos equipos segun los comentarios. Bueno, te envio un fuerte abrazo desde Argantina, y espero alguna vez, podamos cruzar nuestras frecuencias y hablar un poco por la radio. Saludos cordiales.
