[Icom] Re:R9000 RECIVER TT-340

[Siu Johnny]

Hi Group members,

I share with Adam AB4OJ's view on some of the top line classic receivers 
and transceivers.  Those rigs such as IC781 and R9000 were of high regard 
even at today's market.  Perhaps, their high prices did give some respect.  


I am not saying that they are not good.  However, with advancement in 
telecommunciation technology and DSP components, modern rigs such as the 
IC756 families are performing better and at a lower price.

One the other hand, if you are fond of rigs collection, these classic rigs 
would be a good piece of art on your shack - sorry, it is a very subjective 
judgement.

Both IC781 and R9000 suffered from overheat problems in the regular unit.  
According to Icom Amercia, if you have any problem with these rigs, you 
should check the regular unit first.

Fortunately, there are kits available for modification to overcome this 
problem.  Please visit www.qsl.net/icom
