All I can say is OMG WHAT A PIECE OF SH!+!!! Its the new board talkback ETC WELL ITS GOIN BACK NEW board and all!! IT has serious rf feedback through the audio section in the high power section it did this allover the band and me being a 98% sidebander this horrible sounding rig was only good for sticking in Cobra MFG area where the sun dont shine also power had a mind of its own I set it for under 100 watts after the rf problem was dicovered and every other key up was almost 200 watts and then down to 60 watts. I read some great reports on these and have a few friends running them and they sound and work great and trouble free well my luck to get the lemon after waiting over a week for it to arive. They are a nice setup by far no HF rig but still a neet toy or addition to ones collection if indeed its working properly so we will see what happens with the next one. I told the guy not to even bother sending this same one back even after fixing because Ive been down that road before and can see a potential headache before it starts so a new one should be here next week I hope anyways. Ill repost the results after this is resolved. Any othe comments are appreciated or your experiences with these radios.
