Remember wanting one, but then TS2000 came out and I got that instead.

What are like to live with? Are they easy on the ears? There are radios that are good at receiving buy the audio coming out of them would cut you in two. Does the widebanding cut the sensitivity or affect the ability to receive weak stations? Thanks.

My 847 shows on watt meter that the 70cm band it tx power is weak on lower end of band 432.100 and its full power output on upper portion band , around 449.000..... any idea what the problem is ?

Hi Frank Thanks for your message - it could be any number of things and not something that I can put an answer to without having it on the bench and testing - suggest you get Geoff at Castle Electronics to have a look at it for you - best regards Dave
