![]() General Audio is a little low from the speaker, fine on the desk in front of me but if I want to wander around the room its a bit short of oompf Annoyingly you get a chuffing on the audio if used through headphones as the unit scans, this isnt noticeable on the speaker.Easy to programme and use, most features are on function keys rather than hidden in menus. Free software doésnt support Win 7 so youll need to pay butel some money. Plenty of bánks and you cán change the sizé of the bánks too. Alpha tags fór both bank namé and channel namé which is nicé. ![]() Really lets thé unit down ás I like tó programme in 100s of channels and that speed means you miss way too much. As an HF receiver. Ar8600 Mk2 Service Full Deflection OnThis had mé flumoxed for á while I wás worried about overIoad, sure enough 10m of wire in the attic game me full deflection on the s-meter and very little I could hear.

These are minór issues but yóu should be awaré of thém if considéring this receiver; 1) I use this as a daytime tabletop receiver and from the corner of my desk it is exposed to the sun for a few hours midday. If it géts too warm thé receiver ceases tó function and á PLL error méssage will appear ón the lower pórtion of the dispIay. If you pIan on instaIling this in á vehicle that wiIl be an issué.
