Ultimate test Kenwood R-5000 VS Icom Ic R8500 VS Tecsun H-501X on Radio Romania 7375 kHz Shortwave 

Radio Romania on 7375 KHz & 3 different radios: Kenwood R-5000, Icom IC R8500, & Tecsun H-501X... I think the Tecsun H-501X is the winner regarding overall reception!

Tecsun sounds great 👍

The other two sound like coming from a radios. The Tecsun, if you can ignore the disturbances, sounds like people are sitting in your room and chatting.

In this comparison the Tecsun has the best audio but I would like to see a comparison with all three radios using the same external speaker or audio system. Kenwoods are known for superior audio and when hooked up to a surround sound system you can hear bass notes as well as full spectrum of audio.

I am in the market for a new radio. I considerd a used Icom because of their reputation. But when I hear this then I think I have to reconsider my previous choice. The price difference between the Tecsun 990x2 and the 501x is not so great so I think I's better get the 501x because I believe the technology in both radio's are equal.

R5000 all day. No ear fatigue

What are the notches for on the bottom left corner on the H-501x ....kensington lock? Looks like a built in microphone..

Where you get that rubber attachment for the wheel and be able to operate with the tip of your finger. Thanks in advance.

Gilles I wood say tensun H.50.1x has better streo sound then mono sound from Kenwood 5000

Thanks for your video. What sort of jamming is Cuba using over R. Romania?

GILLES TECSUN H 50,1X HAS BETER SOUND THEN ICOM BECAUSE IN STREO THE ICOM HASS 1.SPACKER

Gilles YOUR KENWOOD R. 5OOO AND THE ICOM IC. 5OOO AND TECSUN H.5O.1X YOUR 3 SHORTWAVE RECEIVERS AR COOL

I’m on 7375 as you speak

Tecsun is too noisy. To my ears Kenwood was slightly more enjoyable.
