    Wanted one of these for years. The latest ones having IRF520 finals is icing on the cake. Haven't hooked it up or anything. Going to get it tuned up first.

    They do pretty good. I've got a old one...or did, I may have traded it off.

    As a bassist who gigs pretty steadily, I suffer from a similar malady, called GAS ("Gear Acquisition Syndrome"). Symptoms are similar, although I have a coping mechanism in place to curb my addiction: I don't buy more music or radio gear until either band gigs or radio bench repairs pay for the new stuff, and/or I sell off enough existing stuff to afford the replacements.

    And I *never" get rid of music gear 😊

    The "little woman" has learned that the proper answer to the question, "How many (basses, amps, radios, etc.,) do you need, anyway?" is ALWAYS "Just one more, Dear."

    agreed, after years with a Galaxy Base station, playing with ham and linear amps. I am on my 3rd radio in 4 years..

    This is my latest addition to my collection
