I had an IC735. On paper it sure looked like a great rig. In practice I found the sound of the rig to be irritating. Background noise was harsh and spiky for lack of a better word. Recovered audio left me wanting to turn the rig off. GC receive, which I though would be a great thing, turned out to be something I almost never used.
I tried to like it, really. I had wanted one for years but found quickly after owning one that it was not gonna hold my interest. As soon as the K2 was up & running, the 735 went up for sale. I'm sure there a lot of happy IC-735 owners out there (notice how I've spelled it 3 different ways in this post? :-) but I'm not one of them. YMMV - Keith KD1E - - K2 5411 - -----Original Message----- I think the brunt of IC-735's were built in the mid to later 80's. So kind of aging a bit now. For the money, a nice little rig, and GC receive too. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
