Default Palstar or Icom

Palstar R30 is a high performance radio. What it doesn't have a
gimmicks,huge and mostly empty cabinet,synchronous detector,keypad and
older siblings. Independent reviews estimated its
3rd order intercept at 15 to 18 dBm. That is even higher than JRC 535D ,
Drake R-8(x) and the most expensive Icoms . My R30CC contains 2
Collins torsional filters. Selectivity is incredibly good, on equal
terms with Harris RF550,Drake R7, Racal 6790...and even the holy
Collins R390(non A) !
