The worst UK FM rig ever?

[Ashtec]

That is pretty bad.

I am almost tempted to buy one for a laugh then film it getting bleedover for Youtube.

Communicator NI440DX.
Everytime it was keyed the tx sent odd spurios across the band and you could
always tell if someone was using one. But it looked quite nice.

The other contender was something called an Eagle 40.
No s-meter, a front end that collapsed even on moderate signal levels
and was capable of demodulating all 40 channels at the same time.

I only ever saw one of them, I wonder why ?

Bit of a delay there Paul.

Nearly 4 months to be exact.

Or maybe even 1yr and 4 months

Looks like it has been fitted with an AM Maxon Board.

For me the midland 3001 was a terrible bleed over box and it ruined the rig however many breaker's said it had nice audio and on late night net's the rig worked ok but during the day it was was almost un usable

There were far worse radios than those.

I know that the gecol was proper junk and suitable as a wheel chock

I would have said that the 3001 was more of a middle of the road radio than a bad one. They do have a bit of a receiver issue but at least the TX audio is decent. I found the receiver issues to be more of a de-sense type rather than bleedover.

Edit, why is Ashtec's logo appearing under my Avatar?
