What Troy Newman says is partially true in my opinion. I purchased 2 new Kraft Signature series radios in 1980 one in the spring and one in the fall and used them for competition. I still use them today on 6 meters and have never had a problem. I doubt if any radios built in the past 15 years will be around or for that matter used in 20 years like the Kraft equipment is. The new "computer" stuff is great for what it is intended for but the new radios will never have the longevity or the class of the old stuff.

I have a JR 10X radio that I use in my 40% scale models however if I could get a large servo with match boxes and optical isolators to work with my Kraft receiver I would never have bought the JR.
