- Our local ham store (North Olmstead Amateur Radion Depot, North Olmsted
- Ohio ) stated last week that they automatically return all 530s to Yaesu
- for the mod to cure this. They install it free and turn the radio around
- in less than a week.

- Ya know, it absolutly amazes me the lack of quality that hams will put up
- with in a radio as long as it a.) looks spiffy and b.) they know someone
- else that made the same mistake (er ah... choice. Yeah, that's it)
-
- Kenwood for years has been pulling the game of adding noise to the front
- end and cutting off the lowend audio response so the radio "sounds hot".
- And a little under dampening in the CW filter makes a pleasant ringing
- tone that just "jumps out of the QRM". Ya gotta love it! (It only takes
- a handful of parts to make a receiver that's just on the verge of self-
- oscillation. You really don't need to spend $2K plus.)
-
- But the DX Hogs (oops, I mean emergency preparedness types) around here
- with the Ultra-2K amps and 80 foot towers swear by them for snagging that
- rare one. (er I mean passing health and welfare traffic).
