Hi.
It is true that it is a beautiful base on the aesthetic level. I do not doubt 1second of its power of 250/300 Watts PEP and the quality of its part RX and TX.
The main board EPT695015BR is the same as on the mobile RCI-2950CD.
From experience during 1 year that I had the 2950CD, I can say that the reception is better on weak RX signals as well as the demodulation associated with the fact that the RX part as a whole is less noisy than previous generations.
The TX part is very correct also with a good audio quality that reproduces the variations according to the microphones that are associated with the radio.
I also remember that on my 2950CD we heard the noise of the power supply of the backlight LED display on the speaker even with the volume at 0.
But what about the accuracy and stability in frequency, because my 2950CD never stopped drifting cold and hot and never remained stable.
That’s why I sold it and I went on the CRT SS7900V which does not have these problems.
For the price of this base, it seems more reasonable to buy an Icom IC-7300 or a Yaesu FT-710 and have a quality device for sure.
