Good point on the receiver - actually I have compared my FT-60R with
my
Yaesu FT-2900 mobile rig and the FT-60r is less susceptible to
intermod and
less impacted by strong local signals than the FT2900.
My first FT-60R blew a final after 8 years and I picked up a new one
if that
tells you anything.? Just get an aftermarket antenna ...
?
I had the predecessor to
the VX-3R, the VX-2R. I traded it for my FT-60R and
wouldn't go back. The VX-2R had a broader receiver, but
that actually leads to more intermod distortion,
especially near network switches, and the transmitter is
quite weak and will wear down the battery quickly.
