Finally sold my SG2000 radio after 9 1/2 years of excellent service on voice and
email (Winlink). Had to tune up the frequency once (very simple with an SGC)
but otherwise never a problem. Decided to keep the SG230 tuner, still going
strong after 10 years, with my new ICOM M802. I kept the SG230 because it works
great and is also compatible with my other SSB, an ICOM 706-II. I have
certainly heard anecdotal evidence of SGC radio problems, but don't know the
percentages--I only know 2 other SGC radio users, but they have no problems, and
all the tuner users I know seem to rarely have problems-but I only know a few
personally. Gordon West also pans the radio, loves the tuner. Seems to have
been some radio quality control problems at various times, but also lots of good
ones. Good price for the tuner; currently $419 + shipping at Farallon
Electronics. But I don't expect to need a replacement for a while. Regards;

How many times has it been sent back to SGC, like all their products?
