Upgrading the RX setup...
Looking to get a new(er) computer controlled receiver & a desktop unit.
note: Don't need handhelds, Trunking or cell coverage, just good RX performance & features.
Probably getting the Icom PCR2500 for computer control & Data decoding.
(unless convinced otherwise).
I also want a main desktop unit so am looking at an Icom 8500, AOR AR-5000 or AR-8600MKiiB.
The 5000 seems like a good choice since it also does HF, but already got a dedicated radio for that band.
For a little less $$ I am looking at the 8600 or an Icom 8500.
Which of these is the best VHF/UHF + Ghz range radio for RX?
I am interested in Satellite, Weather, Data & Clandestine radio.
Antenna setup is: Diamond DJ130, AOR DS3000 & AOR SA7000.
For main SW/HF setup going to be using an Antenna Supermarket Eavesdropper Dipole w/ an Icom R75.
Any suggestions or comments?
