[Lowfer] FT-991, IC-R75, IC-7300 receiving on LF

[Dexter McIntyre W4DEX]

I've found the Yaesu FT-991 to be an excellent LF receiver possibly as good
as the R-75.

Results of a comparison this morning on Carl's TH 189.360 KHz beacon:

R-75:

IC-7300:

    (No signal detected)

The IC-7300 will receive LF but does not come close to the performance of
the other two.

My FT-991 is the early version which I've had for close to three years.  I
haven't compared it to the R-75 at 137 KHz but know it works well for LFBC
down to 153 KHz.

Distance to TH beacon is 99 miles.  Active antenna used for the test is two
hundred feet from the house.
