I am glad i wasn't thinking about buying one now. :lol:

The knobs on it look like they were from a Superstar 3900 type radio, and I don't like those very much.

mine went to nick to be serviced and he commented on how badly built they were..
really hard to set up due to bad shielding inside the radio.

i've never used it to this day :)

So you think it is safe to say that other SSB radios would run rings around Uranus? ;)

They are badly set up.

If they are done right they are great to use.

If someone who knows what they are doing has been inside a Uranus, using it can make your whole week.........
