If you can find the rigs with crystals for the local repeaters they are fine.
I just would not want to order several sets at todays prices.
I have a Clegg fm76 that is around 20 years old. I bought it to run on RTTY.
There was about 20 of us running that rig or a Midline (probably mispelld that)
that is the same exect rig except it has a fancy face plate. The internal
wiring is all the same. They put out around 10 watts on high power. We have
ran them for 20 minuits to a hour key down and they took it without any
problems. It stayed on receive 24 hours a day except when transmitting.
