Differences Between Two of the Same Radio
Everything made, no matter how hard we try will have small differences, no 2
resistors will have exactly the same value, thats why they have a rating like 20%, 10%, 5% tolerance they are within, say 10% of the rated resistance ( a 100 ohm resistor may be 90 ohms or 110 ). With that in mind, and the number of resistors in a radio, there can be 1,000's or millions of combination. And every component in the radio is the same way ( capacitors, transistors, wire, coils, diodes, etc ) So no 2 radios will EVER be exactly alike, they will be ( like their components) within 20% or 10% of a rated 'projected' radio design. More expensive radios use closer tolerence components so they will have much closer performance, but cheap-o's using 20% tolerence parts, you may be lucky if they are even similar "Cato" wrote in message oups.com... Here's a question that I have often wondered about.... Let's say you have two of the same radio model... two Sony 7600GRs, two Kaito KA1102s, Eton E5s, Icoms, Kenwoods, etc. or whatever... How likely is it that they will both have the very same sensitivity, selectivity, scanning sensitivity, (both stopping on the same stations during a scan etc.) etc.?? Or will one of the two always be a bit better then the other? Both a bit different?? Cato |
