Interestind replies so far -- I purposely left out SGC and Ten Tec since they are smaller players in the market, but Ten Tec definately deserves their reputation as a customer service leader in the industry -- not to mention their radios are great -- although some think they are not to "modern&...

I take it back -- I love Alinco -- we all fixed. My previous rant was uncalled for and I was an asshole. Fuck me and that shit -- I am sorry to have defamed Alinco before they could fix my shit.

Waste-o-time

It was nothing more than Rochester-lite (minus Avon Beauty Products and other such stellar Rochester-vendors)-- with the flea market folk packing up by noon and taking off -- WTF? From what I saw on the tables it appears I did not miss much -- unless all the good shit went early. I was not in need o...

Getting emotional

I will hold back the tears and be strong as I continue. Nessman, check the price fo the Yaesu 2800 versus the price of the Alinco 620.

Alinco

No, I am not reviwing a specific product but simply raging at the brand and my dismay at their changes over the years. Nessman, I used to worship your well-placed words, photos and such -- but now I wonder if in fact you are a proponent of CW, Take Your HT to Work Day and assorted nonsense, because ...

Alinco - WTF

Does anyone know WTF is up with Alinco. Back in the 90s they had a decent rep as being the Hyundai of the ham radio world, not the prettiest or best working model, but it fucking got the job done.

Light bar sexy

What is too funny is the dude actually put the light bar on :wacker: as he drove slowly through the parking lot amongst the flagmen -- as if - to let us all know to be careful as he went 2 mi...
