Yea, I was really sorry to see that. I got mine around 2008ish and I love this rig. I had it in my truck for about 10 years and used it all week to and from work. Every morning I would check in to the Treasure Coasters Net on 7.153. In addition to regular net check-ins, I made over 400 HF contacts with 90 of them being other countries, 68 of them were original countries.
I have a new truck that I have been waiting to get the radio install in. The display has finally started failing with the zebra lines (after 12 years of intense Florida heat). This morning I just ordered a new control head from HRO. I hope to get another 10 years out of it. It has been a very reliable rig.
