[Lowfer] Grundig g5 sale at Radio Shack

[Paul Daulton]

Good news John.

I tested mine last night with pa0rddt mini whip against my Ts50 on 75 meter 
dipole. Copy on ndbs was about equal. Not stable enough for qrss30 but works 
ok for cw and qrss3 copy on ARGO. I want to use mine with old laptop for 
feild strength measurements out 1 to 5 miles from by beacon. I cipied a 
couple of 600 meter stations well.

For 40 and 80 meter cw works great.

Glad you found it

Paul

Ps I will be watchin G3 for sale priceing!!!
