Mark, Thanks for the information, it really helped in my decision. I probably won't be buying this radio. I read about the keyboard bounce and few other problems the radio has, and I don't want to deal with a problematic receiver. So the hunt goes on for a better receiver. My personal favorite is the Harris RF-550. There's one on ebay now, but it's almost as much as buying one from a dealer who will burn it in and test it for 24 hours for you. It's got few convenience features, so it's not for everyone, but it's built like a tank and delivers a signal that's fun to listen to. I had a Racal 6790/gm but while it performed well, I wasn't impressed with the build quality, and the audio just wasn't as nice as the Harris. On consumer rigs, I've had an R8, and have an AOR-7030+. Out of the box, I liked the R8 better, but after adding a couple filters better suited to my tastes, the 7030 is better for my needs because it's practical to run on batteries. (Mine is installed in a custom case with a pair of NIMH battery packs, a fast charger, and an Avantek preamp for an active antenna -I use it for camping and vacations) |
