I can get a new FTDX3000 for $2000 from the local Yaesu dealer, which
seems way better value to get 100w operating option.
It's usually cheaper to build an inferior product.
I know some IMD fussy types that use the FTDX, so on your comments Jim,
I may have to investigate further.
Using a rig that splatters as badly as this and most other el-cheapo
rigs is being VERY inconsiderate of your fellow hams by taking up three
times as much space on the band as you should. And here in the former
colonies, it's actually a violation of FCC Rules to occupy more
bandwidth that needed for the mode of transmission in use. A proper SSB
signal is 2.7-2.8 kHz; these rigs have that much splatter on both sides
of their legal signal.
