Ok, so all I can say is WOW!!!!!

Not only is it tuned up and yes boys and girls, she does the numbers you've been hearing about. It just looks SOOOOOOOOO GOOD! It has to be the best looking radio I have ever seen.

And the echo sounds good, real good. And I like the roger beep to. The layout is some nice. Easy to use, and it glows so nice in my dark cb room.

And, well.......did I mention I am in LOVE!? No really, I think I will have it buried with me when I go, really!!!!

I have to say, BUY ONE! And get it here on Coppers, they really did a good job on mine.

I can't wait till the weekend and some skip. I'll kick that puppy into high power and do some real dxing!

Thank you Coppers for setting it up, you guys rock!

Sodapop - What kind of final transistors does yours have? I'm just curious if you have one of the 200s with 2290s or the original HF50s?

Yea, please give a report in detail when you can, they are great looking radios but looks are not everything.

I am saving for some new radios and am starting to shop for best pricing,I will be getting an S9 and RCI2980WX and was thinking of the 200 cause it looks great but want to know how it performs first.
