not for APRS

not a complaint, just a heads up: reverts to 145.00 when power removed. not useable as an APRS radio because you can't be sure it's on 144.39 when you power it up.

I've owned this rig since I was first licensed in the mid-80's. It never failed, always worked. I remember seeing it for the first time in my friends car. I had to own one. That colorful display still blows people away. I added a tone board in the early 90's. I had in my 94 Honda civic glove compartment for 7 years, no problem. I replaced the memory battery twice. I've used it as a "Repeater link" set-up in the mid 90's from my house. I've used it on packet. Azden is underappriciated in general. Lets see, yup owned this puppy for 20 years now. Its a keeper!

Reliable workhorse

I picked mine up from a swap with a friend.
25W FM on 2m from early 1980's, 12.5kHz steps.
Better than other 2m rigs of that era.
Mainly used for a 2m access port for a packet radio mailbox for 2 years constant service, then good performance when used on voice. Stood up to harsh use as a mobile rig.
Only one minor problem - an intermittent loss of TX due to dry joint in the driver stages.
Still own and use occasionally.
