Hi Frank

Good to hear from you again. The Yaesu is excellent but I was still a
bit worried about my R71's performance so with the service manual and
help from a tech friend, I went through the whole sensitivity setting
procedure again. I must have screwed up first time round. The R71 now
comes close to matching the FRG-100 for sensitivity, the difference
usually being negligible. You're right about the FR0G's audio being
better, though.

Cheers

Andy - are you back in the US now? I had an Icom R70 for a while and
loved it despite the weird end of band tuning thing and the
ergonomics. All-in-all I would consider it one of the top "DX
machines". I sent it to a friend of mine in CO to use. My present
collection includes and R-5000, R72, and NRD-525.

I can't figure why my wife's name was in the header on the last two
posts of mine (???)
