I've looked at tons of reviews of dual/tri/quad band mobile units (has to have at least 2 bands or I'm not interested in buying it), very taxing on the eyes but I'm learning from the reviews. One area that very few reviews talk about is the sensitivity/selectivity of the modern, smaller and more complex circuitry units. I'm using "old" school thinking that says a Panasonic RF-4900 reciever will have extra filters, etc... than a RF-2200 portable and "should" be better over all (just using this to make a point in general). Does this still apply to todays mobile units? Years ago they were larger, perhaps having better shielding of various circuits. I know I've read about overload, intermod and the like for those tiny HT's that we all now love. Just wondering if I should be as concerned about buying a new mobile unit as I am, versus finding an older unit with less bells and whistles but maybe, maybe, better performance (using better and more filtering as an example)?
Any feedback from anyone, especially the more technical geeks is appreciated. Mention Web sites I can look into, reviews I can read and perhaps comments from those of you who've used old gear and now have new gear, how do they stack up against each other?
