Amstrad 901 - Rig Review

Rig Review

 

Amstrad 901

I vividly remember the adverts for the Amstrad 901 from my childhood and was impressed then by its futuristic looks.  I never would have been able to afford one brand new so was very pleased to get hold of one to review on my YouTube channel.

Nowadays it may look a little dated and with its array of LED lights it has a particular look about it.  Its dials are quite small and a little flimsy but has a good collection of features including an RF Gain and a roger bleep.  The LEDs are bright and work well as a signal indicator.  The receive on our rig was petty impressive so overall it scored well in our review.

It is quite a compact rig for its size so could be used as a portable rig but probably works best being used from the house but the general quality lets it down slightly from the more expensive CB Radios of its era.
