    Oh? That's interesting.

    I have had a lot of success over the years with an Alinco 510 (now on my second one) and an Alinco 590. For their day, they were nice rigs. Be a real shame if Alinco now has a QC issue.

    I dunno. You know what they say about online reviews so keep that in mind. I never had an issues with my 605.

    Before deciding on the FTM-350 I had been looking at the Anytone or the Alinco. The Alinco is said to have severe RX issues, and its a complaint that is fairly common among users. It was the #1 reason I decided against it.

    This is just one of the many things I found on the issue.
