Vintage: Vintage Standard ht radios

[rml63]

I have a couple of Kenwood ht radios, I see some Standard C510A, C520 and C701, they look like nice dual band analogue radios. They look like they are very durable radios for mobile use. Does anyone have some of these radios and what do they think of their performance?

Thanks,
Mike

had a c510a at one time worked ok, have a C558 and C568 still, worst thing was the lack of a skip function and pretty much needing to buy extra memory for the 558 and 568 otherwise fairly rugged, probably no support for them now
