W4ZV je veliki USA patriot in redno kritizira JA radijske naprave!  Jaz se 
spomnem prijetnega tona Orion-I pri YT1NT.  Pri K1ZZ K3 sem prvo opazil 
poceni VFO plasticno dugme, ki je skripalo pri obracanju.  USA imajo bolj 
cist KV in si lahko privoscijo radijo z MF v KV obmocju.  Zal je to tudi 
novi TS-590 ter Yaesu FT-5000.  Nekaj manj TX sirokopasovnog ssuma je za 
pricakovati ker VFO dela na nizji frekvenci.  Ozek prvi filter hitro iznici 
QRN.  Prihodnost je itak v ADT-200A DSP.
