I have seen this posted a couple of times and now that I own both an ICOM 7000 transeiver and R1500 I can state that the R1500 hears very well on HF.
I can place the 1500 on my PROPERLY tuned HF antenna and it performs as well as my new icom 7000 all mode transeiver does.
Each and every time the signals were as strong or better on the 1500.
May be because the owners expect steller performance on HF using a less that steller antennas ?
I also hear the same about 2Ghz and above, and from what I read require specialized antennas are required ?
