Pros: incredible receiver, nice looks, adjustable RF in and out gain

With the SSB capabilities and the excellent receiver sensitivity, this makes a really great DX rig

This radio is also easily programmed to operate on the 10m band if you are licensed to do so, and its extremely sensitive receiver makes it an excellent transverter head unit

Having said that it has a very sensitive receiver and good audio.

It's impressive in both transmitt audio,receiver performance and options like the unlocked clarifier, frequency counter and built in SWR meter
