If you ever get the chance,grab a GE or a Micor and put it on the air. Its like driving a Geo Metro and then switching to a Sedan DeVille! Its the quality,engineering and design that makes the difference. Granted,the Kenwoods do work,but not as good as a unit made for the job. E-mail me back in 26 years and let me know how they are holding up... Good luck,73,Lee
