Has anyone used one of these before? I just bought the base unit and have heard some good things about them being a sleeper unit. Any comments or info would be great thanks.

Its the AM/SSB base unit will upload a pic as well thanks info helps.

Colt Black Shadow 40 channel AM/SSB Base
The radio itself is from the late 70's, early 80's and has the PLL 02A in it. Both radio's had booming audio, and the SSB modulation and sound was superior to many other 11 meter base stations
