Got my first GT-550 at Dayton, 1976 I believe, it was a basket case, in a cardboard box. I restored it and used it till it was destroyed in a fire in 1884. Missed it's great receive so much that I found another and still use it to this date. I also have a Yaesu FT-767GX and an ICOM 706MkII but that Galaxy hears stations that the newer ones can't. Plus I love the soft glow of the tubes, especiall on a cool winter evening.

I had one of these great radios installed on a 56 foot sailboat that I crossed the Atlantic from Gibraltar to Barbados on in 1970. It was a very solid and reliable radio with enough punch to get through and run phone patches, even if the conditions were poor on 20 and 15. The compact size was important given that space is at a premium under those conditions. I used it with a HyGain triband vertical mounted on the mizzen mast with the stays as radials. There's a picture of a much younger me at the microphone at http://whitaker.tripod.com/k9ljb/K9LJB_MM.HTM

oldie but great

picked one of these up off of ebay for a song it came with the power supply vox board and calibrator board. great receiver on this one picks out the weak ones right along with the newer rigs. Lots of transmit power if needed. very little drift after a few minutes of warm up time, tuning smooth but in 5 khz readouts, takes only a few seconds to tune tx up. downside is uses hard to find .206 switchcraft type 3 con jack for mike input and cw filter is hard to find if anyone has one out there for sale let me know. If you can grab one of these in working condition do it you wont be sorry
