Hi Sterling and allthe other Drakesters -- All the other posts represent my feelings exactly. I have owned 4, 3 at present.1 mobile, 1 on op desk. 1/2 of power switch (ac) died on #396. I put ac on dc half, dc leads connected together. Now I switch power on with power strip to save the remaining half.
If you just want something else, I would highly suggest Ten-Tec.Their radios and service are gerat, even on OLD radios. Mine is Omni VI+. 73, Ariel, k4aal Sterling Garwood wrote: > > I have a 7 line (TR-7, R-7, MN-2700, RV-75, MS-7) ... I use them every > day as my primary rig.
