  Switching to the power pole connector was a nice added touch.

  Tempting me to get one.<br><br>And as one ham tuber says, &quot;If you&apos;re lost in the middle of the desert, set up an antenna. Someone will come walking through it within 10 minutes!&quot;

  Screen does have visibility issues in bright sunlight. Apart from that the G90 has become a classic radio for portable operations.<br>73 Ed

  G90 on the beach, &nbsp;fresh seafood, &nbsp;local beer, &nbsp;hard to imagine a better day. &nbsp;I think I need to plan a trip to Rhode Island! Thanks Walt... keep them coming!

  Add me &nbsp;on your list of victims. I had one &nbsp;of the original G90s but sold it to get an X6100. Today I ordered a new version G90. After Hurricane Helene I decided I want an HF rig in my go bag. The G90 with 20 watts and a world class AT sounds like the best way to go. I figured in an Emcomm situation being able to tune just about anything would give me more antenna options. So, a new G90 will be here in about a week.

  I made the K6LA contact on 40 meters Saturday night. 2389 miles away.

  That&apos;s why I bring my mag loop as an alternate, &nbsp;especially when I run the risk of having anyone coming around me. Most people are inquisitive but some people are just PIA&apos;s

  Thanks for all of your straight talk and practical solutions.<br><br>I used your link and finally &nbsp;picked up an hf rig. I didn&apos;t want a Chinese radio, but your reviews convinced me on the value, fueled mainly by a lot of trust in your words.<br><br>A G90 is on its way, along with a dx commander pole and an LDG 9:1 balun.<br><br>I am new to hf, but not new to radio comms, and am a firm believer in the fact that antennas and quality cabling/couplers are more important than radio. Also agree that power beyond 20W is often compensation for inadequate antenna build/utilization.<br><br>Thanks for being the nudge that got me to finally use my license. Looking forward to a LOT of antenna testing and experimenting.<br><br>Cheers, Hoss. <br><br>K2GCY in Jersey.

  Just got a notice that my very first G90 has been shipped! Can&apos;t wait to get it and give it a try. I ordered after seeing how much you enjoy using yours, Walt.

  Guy with the metal detector reminded me of a recent experience I had a park. 😂 First, maintenance almost ran over over coax and counterpoise with the lawnmower then I had a couple gather around it with their dog. I need to start bringing my little collapsible traffic cones again.😂

  Walt,<br>I took mine out last Saturday. 17 ft wire on my Crappie pole with 3 counterpoise. I made contact with a Net in Illinois from Western NY. Then I realized I never turned the power power up! I contacted on just one watt! I love this radio already! Dan KE2CYV
