Hello from Jonesville Texas. I've owned many receivers over the years and the 9500 is tops. I've owned R&S. Collins , Harris , JRC and others and this receiver is incredible.
Read some of the comments below. I agree, to me the EK070 sounds rather noisy given there is no preamp on. The Icoms do a good job even the older brownish one. Thanks for the video!
About the only receivers I have that you appear not to have are the RFT EKD 500, Philips RO-153, the Siemens CHR-531, the Rockwell Collins HF-2050 and the AEG Telefunken E1800A😊
Have you picked up a carrier at 4.94 MHz? I get fairly weak here in the Northeast, but I can pick up a few words using my MLA-30+ on my AOR-7030 receiver. That is with my rotator pointing that loop south.
That’s why I do these comparisons. Thank you for your comments. FYI, the 9000 was rebuilt by a genius rebuilder. I don’t know the mechanical history of the RS. Both radios are over 30 years old
OK, 12095 was the perfect station, showing a S-3 to S-4... Very weak signal, very readable with DNR and SYNC turned on.. The ICOM is the clear winner in many ways.. Just sounds better!!!! OK, now on to the IC-R8600!
sorry sir, there are *no* mechanical IF filters at all 🤣 the EK070 has one crystal filter at the first 81.4MHz IF followed by three swichable (standart version) crystal IF filters at 1.4MHz second IF. There are _no_ mechanical filters ;)
