Glad you are having one of these , my father in law bought one of these new in 87 .he has since passed and my mother in law still has it along with a 50 ft roan tower with a monster rotor and a Thunderbird tribander . He talked all over the globe with it .
They do sound great on ssb and am so big plus! I ended up sending my 5555plus to panic Attack because like you said turning down the dead key made it swing even less. I couldn't be happier with the results as it swings a ton now from 1 or 2 watts. He also does some audio work to make them sound even better! Now people don't believe me when I say it's just the radio no equalizer or sound processor. It has that studio quality audio now. I couldn't be happier!
Can't wait to get this Rooster. I buy first, comment later! LOL I will use on AM on the ham bands, yes we have AM too, and some 11 as well. It will drive my amps well! 73's W4PBS...
Good day to you Rooster sir . Excellent video. I used to run the Icom 735 rig , also a great chicken box . Many a great DX into “ uncle Sam’s back yard . Keep up the great work sir . Dave Uk ( Oscar 180 ) 💪🇺🇸🏴
Kenwood has always been good on the TX audio side (I have an 850 and had a 950). Among the new toys, i do have an ic7300 and they sound good on the stock mic and even better with the Zetagi MB+4 CB mike.
Damn, my work season just ended today and I have to do a month and a half trip. Nice transceiver. I'm looking for a decent older hf rig to sit next to my ft 747gl. I have a liking fer older shit. The 747 is fer my mid 80s sailboat, plastic fantastic fer the plastic classic.
