Re: [IC-7000] RE: IC-7000 and it's VHF/UHF

Exactly. I've had 599 QSOs on phone where there was no s-meter reading -- just a quiet band and steady conditions.? The only way to judge them is on the bench, with calibrated equipment.?

Many conceptions that the 7000 has "poor sensitivity" is because
the S-meter is calibrated more realistically, compared to may
other radios on the market, who's S-meters give extremely liberal
S-meter readings.
You can't base your perceptions of how well the radio receives
solely on the S-meter readings.

Steve...,
You
can check out the links below and see how it is a known issue
that the radio has poor sensitivity on 2m/440
You
can also do a search on Google about it.
It's
not a dramatic difference from other radio's, but it is big
enough to notice.
Try
to find a very weak signal on simplex, then switch to another
2m/440 rig.
You
will then see the big difference.
It's
the difference between hearing and understanding a very weak
station, to hearing nothing on the IC-7000.
Compare
the radio in real life terms.
One
will not see the big difference on local repeaters.
