Excellent rig!

Got my Astro 103BX from US a few days ago and must say I am *VERY IMPRESSED* by this old radio from the early 80'ies. The rig has a excellent receiver and is very quiet and clean. This despite being single conversion. Same with the transmitter, good sounding and also has a effective clipper.
My example will be maintained soon and having the PTO's repaired due to age. Also gonna add HP pin-diodes around the bandpass filters to increase the strong signal handling. Else just keep it running and having phun :)
If you find one of these rigs around, go for it. Defently one of the very best radios made in that era. Still going strong! Some pictures of mine at http://www.sm5hua.se/swan.html

One fine radio

These radios seem to be off most radar screens, but they sure are nice rigs. Great build quality, wonderful adjustable passband IF filter, seperate IF gain control, super qsk, dual vfo's, and warc bands. The manual is the best I've seen in its description of the circuitry. No fancy memories or dsp, just excellent quality and performance.
