The last of the Alinco classics
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
One of the most feature packed mono banders I have seen. I have always thought the current DR-135T was a step back from this radio. Air band RX, UHF RX, Superb 2M performance, cloning over the airwaves. Spectrum display option, multiple different scan modes. Etc. Makes me wonder if they did not target the radio at the scanner crowd as well.
The only knock is a classic Alinco knock with these radios. Tone decode is an add on option. BUT if you do add it, The radio can auto detect PL tones!

Solid Rig
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
Picked up a great, single owner used rig off EBay from another amateur. Solid rig, very easy to program and navigate and it has all the basic features needed for 2m operations. Tx reports have been solid and Rx has been very good with little to no intermod even in high intermod prone areas. I like the extended Rx and UHF Rx capability along with Rx on aircraft AM band. A recommended purchase if you find a good clean one from a reputable owner. Reasonable price seems to be in the $90-$120 dallar range.
Bottom line, I'm happy with mine and would recommend it to others even though it's an "old rig" compared to today's more software intensive rigs.

Not Bad
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

A good no frills radio. Mine has had problems when it heats up; on transmit it will lose modulation. If I keep a muffin fan on the heatsink and stay on low or medium power, the problem doesn't pop up.

Great Radio
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|

I have owned mine for 4 years now and it keeps going and going. The first 3 1/2 years it was in my work truck and it got banged around alot. Now I am useing it for a base and workes just fine there but i don't use it as much anymore. One thing about the radio that i had a problem with was that the buttons are to small and to close together and i don't no how many times that i hit two at the same time. Great rig should find on the used market but have not seen many. Maybe they are hanging on to them.

APRS Digi radio
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
This thing has been working on our local aprs digi 24h/day and 7days/week.
We have it on low power and it just runs warm to the touch. Running like this the fan never comes on.
It really runs very smooth and I would get another one (I if could find another second hand good deal) for another digi we are putting together. This one was really cheap.
It's small, lightweith, sensitive, good for 50W VHF if needed, simple to use, stable, with a good display and a well written manual.
Besides it showed no problems at all after heavy use and abuse. What else can I ask from a dgi radio?
For this I will rate this Alinco product 5 starts.

Great Rig
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|

I have had this rig for over a year and it has preformed very, very well. It took the place of a TM-261A. Have not experienced any mod. problems at all. And it seems to be built better than the 261. I would highly recommend this radio. For the price you can't beat it.

Medium good
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months
|

This is my third Alinco mobile rig (the first two being a DR-110 (2M) and a DR-510 (2M/440). All three have had problems with intermod and overload when driving in "high RF" areas, but were all otherwise good, medium quality mobile rigs. My '150 is really easy to use while mobile, has easy-to-understand controls and functions, and fits in a small footprint. My only complaint is that the audio level to the speaker (even an external speaker) doesn't quite produce "car filling" volume. Alinco is apparently clearancing these DR-150's to make way for the new DR-135, so look around for a bargain price.
