Hi Doug,
I own two SGC-2000 ADSP models with tuners. Both of them have been "road
tested". By that, I mean that there are two types of SGC radios, ones that
have been to Seattle for repair and ones that are about to go to Seattle for
repair. When the radio works, it is incredible but it does do weird things
at the wrong times. I was off the coast of Mexico and tried to send a
message when the radio refused to transmit. I got to port and could not
replicate the problem. I brought it back to Seattle and they heated, cooled,
beat, shook and generally tested the radio only to report to me that there
was nothing wrong with it. I am a RF engineer and I can tell you that the
radio really did have a problem!
The tuners on the otherhand are the best in the world. Have a close look at
any American naval vessel and you will see an SGC-230 tuner painted in
military colors and worth 1000 times the cost of the retail version of the
same unit hanging under any of the SSB antennas. It will literally tune a
wet piece of string. I like the tuner over the Icom as it can be used with
ANY radio, the Icom needs Icom band signaling from the radio.
