Great FM Satellite Rcvr!

Definitely the ticket for cross-banding with my TS2000X! The receiver is sensitive enough to hear UO-14 with a Pryme, 17" accessory whip antenna. Used with a 2M rig, I have a perfect, mobile, FM Sat station.

This radio was a gimme, but can't complain. It's basically only good for events where you would just need to use an HT. Don't plan on using it mobile, the low power it puts out and the fact that you can't put an external mag mount on it make it pretty weak. I can hit a few local repeaters, but as of late I can't get it to turn on, and before this happened the CPU would do a total dump and all my stored memories would be gone, I don't know if this has an internal battery that needs replacing, but it's not that important, I use a VX-1R (144/440) which I find much more useful, efficient and recommend over the DJ-S41. If you want an older HT that still has all the bells, whistles, and nice features most newer HT's lack (like dual receive & dual display), is the Yaesu FT-530, it gets nothing but 5's on eHam.net.

A great little HT for crossbanding

The DJ-S41 is a fine little HT for the money. With a power output of 340mW it's not very good if you're not fairly close to a repeater but for HT-to-HT communications and crossbanding with your mobile it's a great addition to your arsenal. I've never been very fond of the sub-mini HTs but this one has performed superbly for me. The MSRP is $149.99 but I got mine at a local HamFest for $79 brand new.
