Hi there, another comparison of these two iconic portable radios. Again, not much difference in the quality of the recieved audio. I'm starting to think it will take a very weak signal to elucidate any material difference in the sensitivity and stability between these rigs.

Let me know what you think. I'm still struggling to split them.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 24/09/25 at 12:46 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter.
