My 515 is my go to radio on many occasions! The memory unit is a great companion but need to remember to replace the internal battery’s that hold the memory channels! I also have the remote keypad NCM-515!! That Came with the special 2 way adapter that plugs into the back of the 515 radio so you can operate both the memory unit and keypad at the same time
@@dieselten01 mine came with all the filters installed. I know that it requires a special type of filter to work correctly! Not sure they are made anymore??
The 705 is a great radio but its greatness comes from doing what it does in such a portable package. The Racals are 30-40 lbs. the 705 has an awesome scope too. But if you know where the signal is and are just using radios on the bench, the Racals will probably perform a little better.
@@martinryan5069 apparently you can’t see the forest, because the trees are in the way. Try and bring a 6790 with you on a hike to a remote spot with no RFI.
@@martinryan5069 I guess the Idea is that "base station" performance and "mobile" station performance remain mutually exclusive. I have base station units and was wondering if a mobile unit has matched the performance of my rack mounted receivers. So that is what weight has to do with it.
