  1. I've got the Randy 3 and it's a very good radio, this radio on receive doesn't sound anywhere near as nice as the Randy 3 it sounds muffled with or without NRC it's still a great radio for the money but it's not as good as a randy 3 bit then the Randy is much more expressive, you pay the money you get what you get, the TP is at a good price it will sell very well

  3. No the rx audio on this isn't as good as the randy 3, it's still a good radio for the money but it's not as good as the randy imo but it's much better value for money that's for sure

  4. Andy Kirby is going to do a side by side comparison of the randy 3 and this radio, imo this is better value for money than the Randy 3 only issue I can hear is the rx audio if they can sort that out president will have to drop the price or see their sales fall off a cliff, I think the TX is doing a bit of digital signal processing, I'm pretty sure it's using an si4705 for receive this is why it's cheap but if that's the case it could also do ssb in theory, for the money there isn't anything close, that being said with the randy you do get the car kit which cost extra for the TX, if they can sharpen up the rx audio and if it can be hacked for ssbb then it's game over, super video Lewis as ever, really interesting about the antenna as well 👍

  5. No way it's better than the Randy 3 it's cheaper but not better, also don't forget the randy 3 comes with the external power and antenna adapter in the box, my concern with this radio is the receive audio isn't very good, its muffled like an old audioline.

  6. Yup it's a great price that's the thing, that being said I wouldn't swap it for the president Randy 3 just based on the rx audio, all the reviews I've seen on this radio the rx audio is disappointing, muffled, I hope thunderpole can sort this out, I think there is DSP at play, be nice if they released schematics so I could see what's at play.

  7. No it's not I agree but it's great for the price
