One of the greatest analog receivers ... I don't think Yaesu had anything like it until the FT-1000 came out a decade later. And the PA is so overdesigned you can operate continuous at 100W.
The SP-980/SP-980P speakers are rare (just like the FT-980), but like other series products that Yaesu sold this one was rebranded for later rigs: also look for SP-767/sp767P, and SP-102/SP102P. Just changed the number on the front.
