hey there..

for sure it is a keeper..
i liked it better then my rci 2970..

i used to use the high power version ( RCI-3500)
and got out exellent..
ofcourse back in the mid early to mid 80's nowhere as near as many people understood the value of a good radio..

it's a easy radio to modify back to 11 meters as well..
has clear and loud audio..
i never tweaked it..
there was no need to..

any questions just ask me..

Later

Don't let it go. I have the AR-3500 100w with a speech processor and variable power and there aren't many mobiles with loud audio with a stock mike.

Now thats a good deal. Maby i should go to the local pond shop buy all the cbs they have then sell them and hopfully i get a keeper :twisted:

Tomorrow, I'm looking at buying a 100w AR3500 up for sale. It's barely used and also has the 12meter ChipSwitch in it. Bird meter indicated 96 watts. Those are super radios. Alot for your dollar ... more than what many other mfgrs. offer IMHO.

The old AR Radios are getting hard to get parts for.

 

[Roger Dodger]

Perhaps on the specialized chips and coils but then, they are robust and made very well. The PLL chip can be subbed with a ChipSwitch so that's one worry put to rest.
