"I am perhaps one of the toughest users of your products. I regularly switch radios from car to car to van to truck about 2-5 times a week! I need gear that will withstand the shocks and bumps of cruising log roads, as well as simple and easy to operate. The SGC's meet my criteria quite well (I have a 2020 & a 2000).
My SGC's are used daily & always perform as expected. Let me make my point as clear as possible: I would rather have a used SGC (since they are so upgradeable) rather than a new XYZ brand, OK?" - John Simmons KB7UED
"It's been about 4 hours since I applied power and began following the manual and exploring its controls. I like the radio more with each passing moment. What a jewel! My initial CW QSO on 30M was hardly DX but the rig is now "christened". Setup could not have been simpler. I applied the narrow filtering and even the weak station I was working became code practice oscillator copy. Just wanted to add a comment to what I am sure is a huge and growing pile that you must already have." - Alan Tanner WB6THE
"Rugged, high quality, excellent low power transmitter design. Friends use SSB marine SGC... getting excellent audio reports. Thanks!" - Charles Blake
"Excellent transceiver. Better than my new Yaesu FT100 which takes 6 amps at 4 watts out. Excellent sound and signal." - Alvie Etheredge
"I worked OK8ANJ in Prague last night on 20 meter SSB with the SGC2020 at 5 watts. Q5 copy for 2 complete exchanges. Who needs power!... I didn't tell you about the 5 countries I worked on CW before the SSB contact. I'm enjoying the little rig, and I use it when ever I travel. I keep my SSB schedules on 75 meters with a screw driver antenna. The more I use the SG-2020 the more I enjoy it. Thanks." - K6TWO
"All in all, it is an impressive piece of "Good old American" engineering." - Scott Holland
"Lot of radio for size/price! FUN rig." - Mike Thompson K8UPR
"I am enjoying my SG-2020 immensely. I use in mobile a lot, and in my log cabin that only has solar power. I feel bad that I almost didn’t purchase it because of the ARRL review, but now I definitely believe that they were way off base. Keep up the good work. 73." - Larry Tusoni KQ6XY
"Yesterday I received my SG-2020 and tried it immediately almost the whole night - it's now that nice little rig I have always dreamed of; no cw chirps, good audio response, accurate frequency readout, etc. ... To make it short- you all have done a very good job - thank you very much. ... I wish SGC much success for the next 28 years - which will be the case anyway if you continue to produce very good products and offer this superior customer care." - OE3WGC
"23 Countries and 22 states in 4 hours during recent contest with 5 watts." - Hal Mc Clamma NN4US
"This is a remarkably small radio with big performance." - Gene Hinkle K5PA
"Outstanding! I have used this rig on digital, SSB, CW and have been amazed how great it performs. This rig has exceeded my expectations of one in this price range. Well done SGC!" - Jim Wiles
"This rig has everything a low power operator could ask for." - Mark Paley KF8KL
"On CW, the SG-2020 is very nice to use and I had no problem with it at all. Some near by signals were quite strong and I was able to separate them from the desired station quite easily. The little radio is quite impressive, and I did have quite a bit of fun with it. I found that I was able to find the controls necessary for operation after about an hour or so of use. I didn’t even take the manual with me! I particularly appreciated the radios ruggedness and general construction." - VE3EFJ
"Excellent audio TX punch. Very nice little rig. Drives my SG-500 to 450W on 75M band with audio better than my 'big' rig." - James Butch WB8CDX
"I want more of these! Performs like $7000 radio's, this will put Japan out of business! Could well be a replacement for Collins." - Cory Hine N2AQS/AFA4TZ
"Impressed by its performance, ruggedness and incorporating so many features which make field operation easy." - Peter Bush
" I would also like to say the 2020 is one of the finest radios I have ever had the pleasure to use in my 25 years as an amateur operator. I use it on almost a daily basis, favoring all of my other rigs, which are many in number and of well known brands!! I also have a small tote to carry it all in for portable use and I'm not hesitant to loan it to other friends when they travel so they can get on the air! I will never part with this rig." - KK5PY
" I love the rig. I work 99% CW, using the internal keyer at seeds up to 45 wpm and the rig performs flawlessly in that mode. The Semi-QSK is very fast and other operators have no trouble breaking me -- it is so good at I have grown to like the Semi-QSK in the SG-2020 better than full QSK under noisy band conditions. I like the rig so much that I sold 4 other American made rigs and the 2020 is now my sole rig. I have used it nearly every day for 3 months and have decided that if I need another rig it will be a second SG-2020!" - AB4KX
