[Icom] FT897 and a MKIIG

[sasi nayar]

Hi all
Dont intend stirring up a storm here ....would
appreciate an honest opinion. Has someone compared
these two radios side by side? More than anything I
would appreciate info on Rx sensitivity and
overloading. I have a MKII which I love. I have had
problems of Rx overloading especially when I operate
on PSK in the presence of a strong station nearby. I
did a bit of homework and checked the reviews of the
two radios. Apparently this problem is more accute
with the MKIIG, I was told. I am considering going for
one of the two (ofcourse my MKII stays). Any opinions
would be appreciated.
