I've had one for a couple years. It's one of my "secondary radios". VG for
ssb and utilities in this price range. It doesn't overload, but you'll
want a wire antenna (40' works in my middle of the N Amer continent
location) if you're in a low signal area. The general opinion seems to be
that the YB400 is superior, but I have both of these and the 909 is better
for DXing, while the speaker on the 400 makes program listing more
enjoyable IMHO.
