[50mhz] Swan 250

[Jon Pearl - W4ABC]

Hi Don,

The rig has long been known as the Swan "Too Drifty."

The stock rig contains a number on non-temperature compensated caps that 
allow it to drift - sometimes badly.  If this is your first 6M rig and 
you can get it for a song, it will certainly give you access to six 
meters but you'll soon be looking for a new rig if you get serious about 
six.

There are others out there that can be had for a reasonable price if you 
can find them that I would consider far better entry rig's such as the 
Icom IC-551D, Icom IC-726, Kenwood TS-60, Kenwood TS-660, Kenwood TS-680 
& Yaesu FT-650, etc...

Good luck with your decision.




73,
