[ICOM] IC970H vs TS2000

[Randy]

Woody:
I wonder what the shortcomings of the IC-910 were?  I have been using
one for about a year and a half, mostly on 1296 (and in contests), and
have found performance completely satisfactory.  Maybe I am missing
something...?

Hi Dave:

A few years ago I did a side by side comparison between the IC-910, 
TS-2000, and my IC-970H.  I used all three rigs for two weeks.  My main 
concern was weak signal VHF/UHF SSB & CW, terrestrial as well as 
satellite operation.  I was lucky enough to have the rigs for testing 
during the Sept. VHF/UHF contest, so there were many good opportunities 
for weak signal comparison tests.

My IC-970H easily beat the IC-910 & the TS-2000.  The IC-910 came in 
second place and the TS-2000 was a very distant third place.  I returned

both the IC-910 & the TS-2000.
