True - but if you like utes, ECSS is probably not terribly important

The ECSS unit is a particularly poor one. I makes a loud howl when it loses
sync, which it does often.


Thinking of the NRD series I see that Universal has a 515 up for sale:

Man, that's tempting.


Pricey. But, I do recall buying a minty 515, with the memory unit, and I think a
matching speaker for around $850 or so back in the early 90's or so, via the Ham
Trader Yellow Sheets. I almost recall it coming with something else, perhaps some
add on box that added sync or something, it might have been some kinda Kiwa box.
The add on box was black, and had a few knobs on it. Maybe it was a Sherwood thing.

At any rate, I considered it a steal at the time, but, I never cared for NRD audio,
though they were certainly pretty.

Sold it all at a nice profit.
