Ditto, for the most part. The IF/detector/squelch is a bit quirky (mine always quiet better on one side of center freq., & open squelch easier on the opposite, noisier side), and the IF is a bit wider & not easily narrowbandable like the MVP/Exec II/Mastr II series - a problem when using the VHFHB RXs @ 15 kHz channel spacing on 2 meters. But the inherent shielding & filtering you get with the case makes them really convenient to use in certain situations. Also never heard of any tin whisker problems with those RXs, maybe because there's no tin in the helical housing? Bob NO6B
