Me troll? Nope in fact I tend to evict trolls from the forum. There are different ways to judge a radio. Some like the bells and whistles. Some like the DSP filtering. Some like the ability to reject adjacent frequency in-band signals. Some like the IMD performance. I stand by saying that when subjected to strong adjacent frequency QRM the venerable 820 is a damn good receiver when it has a decent SSB filter like the YK-88S (2.4 KHz) or the YK-88SN (1.8 KHz). It also does not suffer from blocking (desense) on out-of-band signals like a lot of the newer rigs do. I base my statement on the basics of receiving that takes adjacent freq QRM, and strong signal handling ability along with decent sound. Can the 7300 dig a signal out of the noise better? Probably, if you start tweaking everything but for a general purpose radio on a crowded band with lots of signals a properly maintained 820 can hold it's ground. One problem is finding someone capable of properly maintaining a rig of that vintage.

[QUOTE="Captain Kilowatt, post: 622710, member: 39"] Me troll? Nope in fact I tend to evict trolls from the forum. :D There are different ways to judge a radio. Some like the bells and whistles.
