I have owned an ALS-600 for the last 5 years and have, for the most part been quite happy with it. I did an expensive solution to the no QSK problem by purchasing the Ameritron QSK-5; the pair work flawlessly together with fast, thump free, full QSK. My biggest complaint with the '600 is the

I bought my 572Bs about ten years ago, 10USD for each one. After 5+ QSOs, I replaced it about 3 years ago. Not bad for 30USD investment. I was heard the new 572B is not as good as ten years ago, that is only because the dealer (in US?) need more cheaper 572Bs. All the best! David BA4RF On
