I doubt that an adequate performer can be had that spans HF to UHF (and
beyond). The wider the spectrum that the radio can receive, the more problems
that is has with intermod and sensitivity. I have the Uniden 785D and it is
literally wiped out by intermod in my neighborhood, I need to use a stubby
antenna just to keep the intermod to a manageable point. I also have the
handheld transceiver by Yaesu, the VX-5R, it is also wiped by intermod.

I would imagine that receivers, of adequate quality, designed for a more
narrow range of coverage, would be much better performers than a wideband
coverage receiver. I also believe that the large scale integration of
circuitry on modern sets is creating problems that were less apparent on
earlier transistorized and tubes sets.

In other words, several pieces of specialized communication equipment are
likely to perform better than most wideband receivers.

My opinion.

Regards.

Any recommendations on the best products to achieve as complete a range of
reception and transmission as possible? All band, all mode, CW, VLF, Low
Band, VHF, UHF, AM aircraft, etc.? Kenwood TS-2000? Harris? Is there an
all-in-one radio? I've got six old radios (tube sets mostly) to accomplish
this, and would like to get more space and tech efficient. I just don't
know the new products. Suggestions?
