Every Yaesu I have had had a problem. Never buy another piece of their
gear. Love Icom and the SGC 230 tuner - it will handle 160 meters very well
with backstay antenna.

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.

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