Tell us more! How is the audio quality out of the stock speaker and the line outputs?
What kind of power output/duty cycle does the rig get. (I thought someone reported 125 watts for hours with no problem!) What filters do you have and how do they work, notice a big difference between different filters? How well does the sync AM detector work?
