Thread: Philips FM91 or PRM80?

I vote for the PRM80 - provided that the capacitors on the control board are either late model or have been replaced with tantalums(I think that's the right type). Even if the caps are the standard electro's, the mod is pretty easy. Then there is of course the simple (and easily obtainable) programming. Avoid getting the out of band modded versions, whilst they work, it's better if the rf section hasn't been altered.

However, if a FM91 comes along - and you somehow get the eeprom programmer - the only thing of interest is that part of the rf stage gets loose and needs to be resoldered occasionally.

But if you are really lucky - go Tait 2020. Plugs straight into a PC and none of the above problems. Will do max watts all day and never complain. I've had one for some time and it has always done good.
