Actually, the SGC 230 tuner is pretty much bulletproof. I've had one
for 6 years+ with no failure. Bought it for $299 at the
Atlantic City Boat Show. It is a great performer.

SGC has a long reputation in the ham radio community.

I'll second that. It was an expensive experiment.

There is are reasons that I have "No Respect for SGC" and any of their
products. The "S" in SGC stands for Stoner, Don. (One of the premier
radio designers of the 70's, and a recognised "Great Ham" and published
inovater in the Radio Communications Field) Don left the company after
a few years, because he had serious disagreements with his partner.
The "G" in SGC is for Goral, sp PeeAir. This guy couldn't design
his way out of a "Wet Paper Bag". He and a group of radio design
wannabee's took control of the company and produced more CRAP than
all the Geese in Lake Union, Washington , USA. Everything that has been
produced in the last 25 years has been with out Don Stoner. Notice that
I say "Produced" not designed here. That is because most if not all the
inovations that folks attribute to SGC weren't inovated there, just
"copied, stolen, plagerized" from other OEM's. Yes, the vernerable SGC
Auto Antenna Tuner, wasn't an SGC inovation, but a plagerized direct
copy of the SEA1612B, including the firmware Roms with the SEA Copyright
Notice still in the firmware. The SGC 2000 and 2020 were functional
copies of SEA Radios that preceded them into the market by about 18
months. I don't think PeeAir has had an "Original Idea" EVER.

For Sale: SGC 2000 Marine radio Real cheap - No, I wont pay you to take the
radio and the shipping too.

P.S.
On the serious side, the SG-230 tunner is outstanding.

From what you say he has plenty, just not technical ones: Like "Why pay
engineers?" or "I can sell cheaper than those who do by plagerizing
their designs" or ... But wait - you're right! These are hardly original
ideas. We've been at it ever since Og copied Ug's arrow head.

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;
