Best radio I have owned in almost 20 years.

I have owned three of them . Bought my first one in 2000. Had to sell it due to loss of employment. When I first got my ham license, I thought it would never be possible for me to own one as I thought amateur radio was a rich mans hobby. I bought it anyway. The Receive through my A-99 was Unbelievable. From the AM Broadcast band all the way through 70 CM I would loose my self in the SW bands. So much to listen two. The second one I bought in 2005. My wife became disabled and again the Radio kept it's resale value! The third I bought in 2012 and still own. Considering buying a second for a Mobile rig and camping. I have owned many radios over the years only to just want the TS200 back. With a Hiel GM 5 People always complimented me on ten, & twenty meters asking how much power I was running. Never needed an Amp. Several thought I was lying when I told them I was only running 100 watts. On Two meter Weather nets , with the dual band operation at 100 watts , very useful. I am not a Computer guy, but it has many capabilities for packet and Satellite including Doppler shift adjustment. I know I will buy more radios in the future, like Icom and Yeasu, ten-tec, as that's what hams do but this will always be THE radio!Read full review
