get better xmit reports on my original-version delta force then on my S9, on SSB. AM tends to lean towards S9, but the delta is awful close. on rcv, the S9 is a bit quiter, white noise-wise, but at times i think my delta hears a bit better on SSB. on AM, i think the S9 hears a bit better. all in all, too close to call, EXCEPT white noise on delta's cpu-controlled/different chassis ground style, makes me prefer to listen to my S9........ :?
