Wow, that rig turned out fairly nice. I like how the meter is front and center and being the focal point of the overall look! Kinda like what Porsche did to the dash on the 912's and 914's, the tachometer is the largest meter and is front and center on the dashboard!.
Back in the day, the best tube radios like Trams, Brownings, and Regencys all were capable of 0.1 microvolts, while pre-1970 transistors struggled to get below the 1 microvolt level. What the increased sensitivity does is to give you more range... and more noise. Unless you live in the National Radio Quiet Zone, you are going to have a noise level. Many different things combine to make up that noise level, things like microprocessors, LED lights, and power line insulators. The net effect is having a constant high noise level, something that reduces the usefulness of a radio. Here is an example of the difference: years ago I had a Regency Imperial and a General Electric 40 channel mobile. On my Penetrator, the GE had a S1 noise level and nothing was coming through. I connected the Imperial, and there was a shallow tropospheric opening and I was hearing stations from New England at about a S4 with a S2 noise level.
I just talk to 700 las vegas,Nevada on 27.805MHZ FM he was hitting s7 on his quad5 he have seen 390 wagonmaster channel and cb lounge 2112 youtube he told me it was around 5:03pm my time he was on one small antennas in hoa area he was telling me i was hitting s9 on his radio. but no video. my heat sink heats up i was getting 1.3 swr on 805 when discconect coax i felt heat on coax it doesn't heat that much up in normal cb channels it kind of warm hot my swr i get 1.0 on ch 19 the rest is 1.2 swr from 1-40 to freeband channels. i was using turner plus2 today.
we where out of power for 10hours today due power pole down from my area from thunder storms we had this morning and last night i just hope UDX-347 is ok there where tornados west manchester,tn last around 10pm between 1am my time also my macov5000 did very well the swr's looking good we had alot rain next Thursday we going get more storms again.
Beautiful radio.
👍🏻👍🏻
Glad the service info was helpful! Sweet little radio
What a great thing to do for 'Triple 2'! My hat's off to ya

Clean little unit. 🎉
Excellent radio. Panasonic made a good product, manufacturing many other radios for other brands, like Lafayette.
Looking good

always something sexy about a round S meter maybe its the moonlight .73s wagonmaster family.
we pose get some bad storms tonight around between 10pm-11pm tonight in east,tn
