[Premium-Rx] Rhode Schwarz EK-07 vs. R390A

[Peter Gottlieb]

Can't help you in comparing these two, never seen a EK-07, but is sensitivity 
itself what you are looking for?  I peaked up my Harris RF-590A and it is able 
to pull a copyable SSB voice signal in the under 0.1 uV range yet rarely does 
that help as the background noise - in the passband - is the limiting factor.

I suppose if your antenna is poor it might help but still you'll get the best 
bang for the buck changing that rather than the receiver.
