I recently bought a barely used Super ATS-909 after having owned a stock
version for about a little over a year.

The original version of the 909 was all but deaf off the whip.

While I will admit that my 1103 is more sensitive off the whip than my 909,
the Sangean is FAR from deaf off the whip.

Add a
40-60 ft random wire to the Super 909 and I had to turn down the RF gain
to keep it from overloading.

My 909 doesn't overload on a 50ft wire.

I have heard many stations since I started .

The only
negatives I have encountered is 1) strong adjacent stations force me to
detune a little to separate them from each other but it is still doable
and 2) SSB reception is a sight more difficult to achieve now. I knew
this going into the purchase but in the short time I have been a
listener I have grown to decide I find the ramblings of most HAMs to be,
let's just say, less than interesting. So no loss for me.


AFRTS and other mil brodcasts are pretty impotrtant to me. I agree the hams
aren't worth listening to.[snipped]


Thanks for listening and feel free to ask if you have questions about
these comments or the radio itself.

Cheers all.
