[Premium-Rx] IC-R9000

[James A. (Andy) Moorer]

  I have an IC-R9000 - have used it for years. In general, it works 
well, but I have some gripes about the RF front-end. Although the IM 
specs seem quite good, I hear more spurious imaging than my other 
receivers (Drake R-8B, for instance). If you put it side-to-side with 
other receivers, the problems are noticeable above maybe 15 MHz. On the 
other hand, It has a wider range than most of my other receivers, and 
the separate antennas for the different frequency ranges help quite a bit.
