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. Doug, k3qt s/v Callista "Larry W4CSC" wrote in message ...

SGC has a long reputation in the "Marine" radio community. SGC means Piece of Crap.... I'll second that. It was an expensive experiment. Leanne |
SGC 230 antenna tuner NEW
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.

My experience has been that for every bad report about SGC
rigs, you can find seveal folks that love them and have never had a problem. Like anything else, the bad reports tend to be louder and more obnoxious than those that quietly use and enjoy. A friend has had one on board for 6+ years with constant use and absolutely no problems. My 230 hasn't missed a beat since I bought it 6 years ago. Doug, k3qt s/v Callista "sded" wrote in message ...

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. Bob, AK6R Catalina 42, Swell Dancer Oceanside, CA "Larry W4CSC" wrote in message ...
