I traded him a couple of new take off tires for it. I did a tuneup on it from info found on the internet...........It is a loud radio but for some reason Colt didn't think it necessary to put a Mike gain control in the radio, that is the only issue I have with this radio. Great receiver.

I have a Colt Black Shadow SSB, seems to be a nice radio. I don't use it much, I always got good reports with this radio!
