Like all Yaesu Radio's this radio is very susceptible to lightning damage. When not in use YOU MUST UNPLUG THE ANTENNA AND THE POWER from this radio. Just turning it off is not good enough. Most people do not realize that lightning damage can and often does occur through the earth ground. To prevent this, unplug the power plug from the ardio and it you have a separate ground wire, unplug it too. There is a lot of talk about EMP these days. EMP damage to your radio is likely to occur from a near by lightning strike, not a nuclear war head. The lightning does not have to make a direct hit on your radio. Prevent this from happening by unplugging the antenna cable when the radio is not in use. Just turning off the radio is NOT ENOUGH. A radio that is just turned off will fry like your morning bacon. Most TECH SPECIAL radio's that you see on ebay have lightning damage that is very costly to repair, IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED. Cheap insurance is to completely remove your radio from the power grid and the antenna system. It only takes a minute and can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars.Read full review

I could not be more pleased with the performance of this interface. The only issue I had was setting correct levels for the WSJT-x software. Other than that I was working DX from Japan to South America within minutes. I also like the package cosmetically pleasing. In other words, it ain't ugly like most of the junk I have hanging off my shelves.
