So far really liking my home rig, which is also my 1st HF rig. Big display, direct entry. Only downside is 3 power levels 1/10/100. Internally you could solder a patch and max at 50w vs. the 100w or install a switch to toggle 100/50. Its all mode so I can eventually do CW.
I have a KW TM-v71a for 2m/70cm..
Its limited in filters, no DSP. Does have IF knob and narrow filter. The IF seems to help bring out the RX audio on DX work.
I ordered in the Megawatt 350-12 rated at 30/33 amps.. I set it to 13.8v.
My MFJ-941E antenna tuner was defective with a bad SWR needle. Got exchange coming from dealer (DXEngineering).
My 38-39' end fed with 9-1 unun was performing pretty well down to 40m.
Entertaining a straight 40m resonant dipole for 2nd coax line..
I did listen on RX this morning several calls from IN,IL,NC,FL, & a guy from California. Some on 20/40 and down on 60m.
Can't wait for new antenna tuner to get back here to try actually transmit.
I'll be updating my experience.. Stay tuned.
