This was purchased from a Ham's estate.
I have tried it on 6M and 2M. I do not have a 10M antenna so have not tried it there.
Using a 6M repeater 30 miles away, I have had good signal reports.
However, I have received this evaluation of the radio:
I just received the radio and hooked it up to test it. Our test setup is an Astron 35 amp linear power supply and a Freedom 8100 communications service monitor (calibrated on 3/2021). The radio failed its tests and is out of spec particularly on transmitter power out. According to the manufacturer, this radio is spec for 50w out on the 28,50 and 144 bands and 35w out on the 440 band. The radio produced 32 watts on 28,50 and 144 and barely 20 on 440.
