Oops, forgot Kendecom. 2nd worst. The RXs are OK provided you bypass the defective squelch circuit & add a Micor squelch. Still, there are problems with either IF filter leakage or IF amp overload, resulting in strong adjacent channel signals wreaking havoc with the noise squelch. The RF front ends appear to be well designed. Their TXs & controllers aren't worth the bits in this message. Bob NO6B
