This was one of my favorite radios! These radios have amazing receive and are awesome on AM and even more so on SSB!

These radios have the variable power and with the Top Gun Feature will swing to the max output from 1 watt. Max output I ever saw on this radio was 35 watts. Some people say they can be setup to do 40, but I think most people can expect a solid 35 watts.

Audio is unbelievable and loud but never distorted. Even with the echo on the audio is clean - only time the audio ever got crunchy is with the repeating echo - after 10-15 repeats it will start to get a little distorted.

The best feature I liked was the memory buttons - all mode - you can push on button and go from Ch 6 AM to CH 38 LSB. Very easy to jump around your favorite stations.

Radio will drive the snot out of a solid 2 pill amplifier like a Magnaforce 200 or 350.

It's very easy to peak the modulation - adjusting the variable power internally can be a bit of a pain because the boards aren't marked and there is very little documentation available about how to do it.

Excellent all around radio. ONLY complaint - the knobs are cheesy and have a loose feel. The knobs never gave me any problems but the "feel" isn't as solid as a Cobra 148 for example.
