Kenwood 430S...good radio? On the 430S and 440S radios I've read about the "dot problem". I'm new...what is that and how big a deal is it to fix?
Thanks!

The issus seems to relate to the relays used for keying. I am not a Kenwood expert but maybe someone else will chime in. Just remember you would be buying a 30 year old radio. That's not a bad thing just a FYI. My main radio is a Yaesu FT-101zd mkiii that is almost 40 years old. Still working like a champ. These thing are built to last, they are not CB's made for the mass market.Do you know what the "dot problem" is I've seen mentioned in several articles, like in eham reviews?

The 130 sounds like the best deal.LOL...I'm 59 so 30 tears old doesn't sound "old" for anything!
Missed on the 430S...$295.00 until last 30 seconds...went to $375.00 and I passed on it. I have 5 more radios on my EBay watch list, plus that 130 with the tuner and power supply on QTH. I'm calling on that one tonight.
