Like all ham sets, it has filters set for the ham bands and outside those on
RX it is worse. As a basic RX its OK, but you will find something like a
SONY 7600GR will probably be slightly better

I don't think that applies to all ham rigs.

The only filtering I've seen in ham rigs is for the AM BC band. The IF filters
may be a bit narrow for nice fidelity in AM mode, but just listen in USB or LSB
and you'll be fine. My Yaesu FT767gx is an awesome general coverage DX
machine.
