OK, the radio is working. The controls are a bit scratchy but everything is working. Tuned in a couple of hams on 40 meters using a short hunk of wire and listened for a while. Tuned up the transmitter and I'm getting 100 watts on transmit into a dummy load. The transceiver has two Fox Tango filters install, comes with AC cord, DC cord, desk mic, hand held mic, external speaker and external vfo. There is a bit of dust to clean off and I have not found the cable for the external vfo but hopefully I will. So this is what you get for $300 and I think you'll be more that happy with the rig.
Let me know what you think.
