thanks jack


I'd say the major difference is many SWave receivers minimize signal
fading with "synchronious selectable sideband" circuitry. I don't know
of any ham transceiver that has that feature. The Icom R-75 reciever
doesn't have it either, but most of the medium-to-better receivers,
such as the Sonys, the Drakes, do.
