Hey All,
Compared my recently acquired T/O 3000-1 (please see HFU General Radio Discussion) with the venerable and sensitive Sangean 803A.
9/5/21 2330 UTC
560 WGAN weak. Tie T/O vs 803.
570 WMCA fair/weak. Tie T/O vs 803.
580 WTAG QRM from 590. Advantage 803 in narrow mode.
610 WGIR fair. Advantage 803 in wide mode.
770 WABC strong. Tie. Good music on Joe Piscopo show.
1610 CHHA weak. Advantage T/O
0100 UTC :
1020 KDKA fair in QSB. Tie. NO QRM from 1010 and a tiny bit from 1030.
(FWIW, KDKA is often a tough catch at this QTH. If a rig here has good 1020 Kc separation from local flamethrower WBZ on 1030 and night time biggie WINS on 1010, it's considered pretty good).
Overall : Fairly close in performance. The T/O has bright and crisp audio, a real pleasure to listen to. Mechanically it has a rock solid and bullet resistant feel to it. A really nice addition to the collection and a great keep sake from Cuttyhunk Island.
