    RCI -2995 good, or what

    RCI 2995DX Well for my 2 cents worth I would not give my thumbs up to buy a RCI 2995DX. I wished I would have stayed away from this model I purchased 1 in Late November 2010 from dealer in Illinois and SSB transmit audio is terrible. Another guy across town purchased his during same sale...
