I think I have had enough of this radio. The dang think started acting up again. Same as maybe a year or so ago. No receive except all static. Transmit power runaway. Time to list this on QRZ.COM swapmeet forum and/or eBay as a radio for parts or for repair.
Have my eye on a couple more TS50S radios. However, I have seen a few Icom M710 radios up for sale at reasonable prices. Maybe too reasonable considering they are expensive radios. The thing that turns me off about the 710 is its not so easy to program ham bands, and, it is channelized, not VFO. However, should I still consider the 710 over the TS50S?
