Today I'm back at Chenango Valley State Park for another CW Parks On The Air activation. Today I'm using a TR-45L loaned to me by Ed Bennett, W4EMB (see Ed's channel linked below). This is Ed's favorite radio, and I wanted to put it through its paces to see how it performed. I've got it paired with a WRC 17' whip, and a Begali Expedition key. I struggled to hear stations in the beginning of the activation, but the band picked up and the signals got much better. Overall I have a pretty positive impression, but there are some things about the radio that I'm not particularly fond of. Watch to the end to see my thoughts on this very unique radio, and look for it in an upcoming QRP Head 2 Head episode. Thanks for letting me take the radio for a test drive Ed. I really appreciate it!
