Hi.

It's too bad I don't know anyone in Rochester who has one.  I'd love to sit 
in front of one and see what it will really do and see whether I like it 
better than my present equipment or not.  My present station isn't bad, 
though the VHF gear has probably been a bit better in the past before some 
of my older gear wore out.  Kenwood made some outstanding VHF and UHF weak 
signal gear in the 1980s.  I don't think their newer stuff is nearly as 
good.  But still better than the old Icom IC290A that I was using in the 
early 1980s.

Anyway, I mostly judge a transceiver on how sensitive the receiver is and 
how susceptible it is to intermod and images.  If it comes out well in 
those areas, then chances are I will like it and keep it for a long time.
