Alinco News

I have owned an Alinco DX-70t since new in 1995 and a DJ-C1 (tiny) used from Dayton in 2008. Both rigs are going strong and I have no plans to replace the DX70 any time soon. The DJ was so cheap I had to buy it! lota of feature for such a small transceiver but only 300mW.....

 

I love my DJ-596...

 

Alinco was THE best value by far up until a couple years ago. Yaesu by virtue of sheer volume & robotic assembly of SMT components has surpassed Alinco in the value department with their feature packed newer models priced even lower than Alinco's proven models. Of course we speak primarily of the "lower end to mid range" market- which has advanced unbelievably from what we had twenty years ago. "Big Three"? It seems to me that Alinco displaced Kenwood in being a member of that gang a couple years ago when Kenwood started dropping models fast as they could. (Check out their catalog!) Maybe we should start calling the big three "YeaComInco" or "AlComSu" now! Regardless, I too can testify that my DJ-V5 has had a couple simple parts replaced on my own bench but has served quite well over the years. Would I do it again today? Perhaps not, though I certainly wouldn't say that doing so would be bad. I am past the brand loyalty silliness for the most part, especially now that the lead free solder means a much shorter life span for most rigs manufactured post 2004 or so. Good thing prices have dropped- at least for some brands!

 

Interesting point of view. Kenwood hasn't been very active, that's a fact. And the things they do put out don't really impress me much. Judging from my website traffic Alinco still has to overtake RadioShack and Kenwood to make it into the top 3 (Please note that my top 10 is very un-scientific!)

All said, I would seriously consider Alinco when buying a new rig.
