It is built very nice and is consistent with power output although a low power rig. The only problem is the display VFO which can intermittently go out if not used for a period of time, this is resolved by either cleaning the VFO or just spinning the VFO back and forth and it will work fine for a period of time, I understand this is a common problem and although present occasionally it doesn't take way from the rigs sound and realiablity.
