Great little high performance radio!

I love everything about it. Dimensions and characteristics, high-quality assembly, no plastic, durable metal housing. I bought it because where I live I have a lot of background noise and thought I would have to upgrade to a portable device to go on the air. I didn't want to build my Kenwood base and decided to switch to QRP. With a DSP, built in antenna tuner and SWR analyzer, all I need is this great setup and a long wire antenna instead of a bin full of gear. He even cuts through QRM here at home and although not always 5/9 copy I can now hear some QSOs. I think it will be a fun radio to field and work with QRP. 73
