OK, I said fuck it and pulled the trigger on an SI-4732 thumbmaster 3000 and a connector SMA->BNC->BNC->Screw terminal block for shits and giggles.

How good are they compared with full size "real" radios like the PL-330 or so?
I'll upgrade the firmware and I asked a bro with a 3D printer to print me a lime green shell. Anything else I could/should do?

I mainly bought this for quick & dirty experiments with nigger-rigged wire and other antennas. Like
>get 30 feet of thin braid wire, wrap it around a Harbor Freight bucket and see what happens
>Jumper cables - your truck's unlikely loop antenna
>Doc Shortwave live from the local iron railroad bridge

Also: Does anyone here know why the Lilygo T-Embed SI-4732 has LW too but no SSB while the ATS-Mini SI-4732 has SSB but no LW?
