Hello Mike:

That is a high voltage point, so be sure the voltage rating is high enough.
I have plenty of boat anchors - many of which were more expensive than the
DX-100 when new. But, over a period of time, I have come to appreciate how
wonderful the DX-100 is. The Collins rigs are excellent - but they are
harder to work on and do not cover 160 meters. The Johnson Viking series is
nice - but does not have a vfo.

In short, the DX-100 is a very nice boat anchor.
