For the $$$ it seems like a good radio! |

Hmmmmm. Ill bet 10 to 1 there is a mod that you can do to get the radio to have a mike gain.. Ill bet the SWR set knov can be used for the gain level..
But im kinda have a change of heart. Im thinking about getting a RCI 2970 instead...... Dunno yet... |

So long as the temperature of the radio stays fairly steady, it's tolerable. Go outside to the car on a cold morning, and it may drift a full kHz as it warms up. Pretty stable as a base radio, though.
