When I first started in the hobby I used a couple Alinco rigs ( uhf/vhf)
DJ-F1t, DJ-580t, DJ-590t.
Only one presented a problem, the DJ-F1t, Two weeks after buying the radio, I dropped it hard at work off a cat walk onto concrete and the PLL would not lock, Alinco fixed it with a very quick turn around time.
I used the radios hard, especially the 580 and 590, They were good for cross band repeat while camping and stood up to fairly high duty cycles.
Overall they were good radios.
Never used any of there HF stuff.
