I have a stock TS-50, I always get compliments on my audio quality on SSB and AM. Though like mentioned earlier, you won’t get that splattering loud audio that some AM operators like. I have buddies with 706’s and 100’s, we are all mobile and I sometimes can hear the DX stations that they can’t. Never did a side-by-side comparison, but I think the 50 can hear better.
Hey KG4SJO… Do you have the mod for the Mark V Field? It is different from the standard Mark V.
