Hygain III

Post by mattltm »

I've been given a couple of Hygain III rigs in a box of bits and I know nothing about them.

Are they any good?

One looks like it's a normal CB whilst the other one has an AM and FM knob and 2 extra switches on the back under the coax connector.

They are ok for an 80 channel AM/FM same/similar guts as the Ham puma/Formac etc, They are not worth alot and are mostly picked up cheap for parts PLLO2A etc, Can have UK40 added but not worth spending the money on.

Thanks both.

Are there 2 versions because one of mine seems to be FM only and the other one AM and FM.

There's quite a few versions, 23/40 channel, AM only, AM/FM, etc. Nice little radio's for what they are.
