Well Built Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Picked one of these up last week at a local Ham-fest for 20 bucks. I know Azdens are great rigs as I have a PCS-2800 which is very similar to this as well as one of the newer model 2 meter radios as well. It was filthy from sitting in a garage for years, and transmit was intermittent with no audio. After a thorough cleaning of all the dirt and corrosion (from the decades old Ni-cad memory battery which I removed), sure enough it works fine on transmit and receive! I just need to adjust the PL tone for my local repeater and I will be using it as a backup for my main rig when I run the monthly net. Azden radios were really well built (apparently packet guys loved them cause they lasted forever and didn't break down) and if you can find one and dont mind an older rig without all the bells and whistles, pick it up!
